Critical Heegaard Surfaces and Index 2 Minimal Surfaces
David Bachman
Abstract
This paper contains the motivation for the study of critical surfaces. In previous work the only justification given for the definition of this new class of surfaces is the strength of the results. However, when viewed as the topological analogue to index 2 minimal surfaces, critical surfaces become quite natural.
