Abstract

For each $g \geq 2$ , 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
