Genus three Goeritz groups of connected sums of two lens spaces

Hao Chen and Yanqing Zou

Vol. 338 (2025), No. 2, 231–249
Abstract

We prove that the mapping class groups of the genus three Heegaard splittings of the connected sums of two lens spaces are finitely generated, and the corresponding reducing sphere complexes are all connected.

Keywords
reducing sphere complex, Goeritz group, Heegaard splitting
