Handle decompositions of 3-manifolds
Handle decompositions of 3-manifolds allows you to simplify the original 3-manifold into pieces which are easier to study. An important method is decompose into handlebodies is the Heegaard splitting, which give us a decomposition in two handlebodies of equal genus.
