Trisections induced by the Gluck surgery along certain spun knots
Tsukasa Isoshima, Masaki Ogawa
Gay and Meier asked whether or not a trisection diagram obtained by the Gluck twist on a spun or a twist spun 2-knot obtained from some method is standard. In this paper, we depict…
Some lower bounds for the Kirby-Thompson invariant
Nobutaka Asano, Hironobu Naoe, Masaki Ogawa
Kirby and Thompson introduced a non-negative integer-valued invariant, called the Kirby-Thompson invariant, of a -manifold using trisections. In this paper, we give some lower b…
Stable equivalence of handlebody decompositions whose partitions are multibranched surfaces
Masaki Ogawa
In this paper, we consider decompositions of closed orientable 3-manifolds with more than 3 handlebodies, where the union of intersections of handlebodies is a multibranched surfac…
Handlebody decompositions of 3-manifolds and polycontinuous patterns
Naoki Sakata, Ryosuke Mishina, Masaki Ogawa +4
We introduce the concept of a handlebody decomposition of a 3-manifold, a generalization of a Heegaard splitting, or a trisection. We show that two handlebody decompositions of a c…
Trisections with Kirby-Thompson length 2
Masaki Ogawa
Kirby and Thompson introduced a length of a trisection. They also defined the length of a 4-manifold as the minimum of length among all lengths of trisection of a 4-manifold. In th…
Decompositions of the 3-sphere and lens spaces with three handlebodies
Yasuyoshi Ito, Masaki Ogawa
In this paper, we consider decompositions of 3-manifolds with three handlebodies. We classify such decompositions of the 3-sphere and lens spaces with small genera. These decomposi…
