A chain complex and Quadrilaterals for normal surfaces
Siddhartha Gadgil, Tejas Kalelkar
We interpret a normal surface in a (singular) three-manifold in terms of the homology of a chain complex. This allows us to study the relation between normal surfaces and their qua…

Incompressibility and normal minimal surfaces
Tejas Kalelkar
In this paper we describe a procedure for refining the given triangulation of a 3-manifold that scales the PL-metric according to a given weight function while creating no new norm…

Euler characteristic and quadrilaterals of normal surfaces
Tejas Kalelkar
Let be a compact 3-manifold with a triangulation . We give an inequality relating the Euler characteristic of a surface normally embedded in with the number of norma…
