Abstract

In Rubinstein and Scharlemann [Geom. Topol. Monogr. 2 (1999) 489-553], the given list of ways in which a closed orientable 3–manifold could have distinct genus two Heegaard splittings misses a significant case. A brief description of the case (discovered by John Berge) is given here, and the proof that the list is complete is corrected, now incorporating the missed case. Full details and further discussion appear elsewhere.
