One-sided Heegaard splittings of RP3

Abstract

Using basic properties of one-sided Heegaard splittings, a direct proof that geometrically compressible one-sided splittings of RP3 are stabilised is given. The argument is modelled on that used by Waldhausen to show that two-sided splittings of S3 are standard.
