Flipping Heegaard splittings
Heegaard splittings are an old but useful tool in studying 3-manifolds. They are studied up to isotopy, up to homeomorphism, and up to stable equivalence. In this talk we review pertinent examples and highlight the interrelation of these notions of equivalence through the concept of flip genus.
