Heegaard splittings of exteriors of two bridge knots

Tsuyoshi Kobayashi

Geometry & Topology 5 (2001) 609–650

arXiv: math.GT/0101148

Abstract

In this paper, we show that, for each non-trivial two bridge knot K and for each g 3, every genus g Heegaard splitting of the exterior E(K) of K is reducible.

Keywords
