A Standard Form for Incompressible Surfaces in a Handlebody
Abstract
Let be a compact surface and let I be the unit interval. This paper gives a standard form for all 2-sided incompressible surfaces in the 3-manifold × I. Since × I is a handlebody when has boundary, this standard form applies to incompressible surfaces in a handlebody.
