Minimal m-handle decomposition of three-dimensional handlebodies

Authors: Alexander Prishlyak, Elena Vyatchaninova

Abstract

For the 3-dimensional handlebody we build an m-handle decomposition with minimal number of handles and prove a criterion of minimality. It is proved that two functions can be connected by a path in the m-function space without inner critical points on the solid torus if they have the same number of critical points of each index.
