Degree one maps between small 3-manifolds and Heegaard genus

Michel Boileau, Shicheng Wang

Abstract. We prove a rigidity theorem for degree one maps between small 3-manifolds using Heegaard genus, and provide some applications and connections to Heegaard genus and Dehn surgery problems.

Keywords. Degree one map, small 3-manifold, Heegaard genus
