A note on reducing spheres for the genus-4 Heegaard surface in the 3-sphere

Sangbum Cho, Yuya Koda, Jung Hoon Lee

For the genus- Heegaard surface in the -sphere, we present a sufficient condition for a non-separating weak reducing pair to be separated by a reducing sphere for the surface…

Reducing spheres and weak reducing pairs for Heegaard surfaces in the -sphere

Sangbum Cho, Yuya Koda, Jung Hoon Lee

Given a Heegaard surface in the -sphere, we show that any non-separating weak reducing pair for the surface admits a reducing sphere that separates the two disks of the pair if…

The rectangle condition does not detect the strong irreducibility

Bo-hyun Kwon, Sungmo Kang, Jung Hoon Lee

The rectangle condition for a genus Heegaard splitting of a 3-manifold, defined by Casson and Gordon, provides a sufficient criterion for the Heegaard splitting to be strongly…

On the Invalidity of Lemma 2.5 in our previous work on the Powell Conjecture

Sangbum Cho, Yuya Koda, Jung Hoon Lee +1

In our previous version entitled ``The reducing sphere complexes for the 3-sphere are connected: a proof of the Powell Conjecture", we claimed to prove the Powell Conjecture, which…

The Powell Conjecture for the genus-three Heegaard splitting of the -sphere

Sangbum Cho, Yuya Koda, Jung Hoon Lee

The Powell Conjecture states that the Goeritz group of the Heegaard splitting of the -sphere is finitely generated; furthermore, four specific elements suffice to generate the g…
