  • Published:
Inventiones mathematicae Aims and scope

Summary

In this paper we give a classification theorem of genus two Heegaard splittings of Seifert fibered manifolds overS 2 with three exceptional fibers, except for when two of the exceptional fibers hava the same invariants with opposite orientation.
