A universal bound for surfaces in 3-manifolds with a given Heegaard genus

Mario Eudave-Muñoz and Jeremy Shor

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 1 (2001) 31–37

arXiv: math.GT/0008158

Abstract

It is shown that for given positive integers g and b, there is a number C(g,b), such that any orientable compact irreducible 3-manifold of Heegaard genus g has at most C(g,b) disjoint, nonparallel incompressible surfaces with first Betti number b1 < b.

Keywords
incompressible surface, Haken manifold.
