Abstract:

Let L ⊂ S 3 be a fixed link. It is shown that there exists an upper bound on the Heegaard genus of any manifold obtained by surgery on L . The tunnel number of L , T ( L ) , is defined and used as an upper bound. If K ′ is a double of the knot K , it is shown that T ( K ′ ) ≤ T ( K ) + 1 . If M is a manifold obtained by surgery on a cable link about K which has n components, it is shown that the Heegaard genus of M is at most T ( K ) + n + 1 .
