The Heegaard genus of manifolds obtained by surgery on links and knots

The Heegaard genus of manifolds obtained by surgery on links and knots

Let L ⊂ S 3 be a fixed link. It is shown that there exists an upper bound on the Heegaard genus of any manifold obtained by surgery on L . The tunnel number of L , T ( L ), is defined and used as an upper bound. If …
