Cut-disks for level spheres in link and tangle complements
Maggy Tomova
Wu has shown that if a link or a knot in in thin position has thin spheres, then the thin sphere of lowest width is an essential surface in the link complement. In this p…

Distance of Heegaard splittings of knot complements
Maggy Tomova
Let K be a knot in a closed orientable irreducible 3-manifold M and let P be a Heegaard splitting of the knot complement of genus at least two. Suppose Q is a bridge surface for K.…

Compressing thin spheres in the complement of a link
Maggy Tomova
Let L be a link in the 3-sphere that is in thin position but not in bridge position and let P be a thin level sphere. We generalize a result of Wu by giving a bound on the number o…
