Heegaard surfaces and measured laminations, II: non-Haken 3-manifolds
Tao Li
A famous example of Casson and Gordon shows that a Haken 3-manifold can have an infinite family of irreducible Heegaard splittings with different genera. In this paper, we prove th…

Heegaard surfaces and measured laminations, I: the Waldhausen conjecture
Tao Li
We give a proof of the so-called generalized Waldhausen conjecture, which says that an orientable irreducible atoroidal 3-manifold has only finitely many Heegaard splittings in eac…
