Short geodesics in hyperbolic $3$–manifolds

William Breslin

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 11 (2011) 735–745
Abstract

For each g 2, we prove existence of a computable constant ϵ(g) > 0 such that if S is a strongly irreducible Heegaard surface of genus g in a complete hyperbolic 3–manifold M and γ is a simple geodesic of length less than ϵ(g) in M, then γ is isotopic into S.

Keywords
