Shadow-complexity and trisection genus
Hironobu Naoe, Masaki Ogawa
The shadow-complexity is an invariant of closed -manifolds defined by using -dimensional polyhedra called Turaev's shadows, which, roughly speaking, measures how complicated…
The special shadow-complexity of
Hironobu Naoe
The special shadow-complexity is an invariant of closed -manifolds defined by Costantino using Turaev's shadows. We show that for any positive integer , the special shadow-co…
Positive flow-spines and contact 3-manifolds, II

This paper corresponds to Section 8 of arXiv:1912.05774v3 [math.GT]. The contents until Section 7 are published in Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata as a separate paper. In th…
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…
