On the classification of Heegaard splittings
The long-standing classification problem in the theory of Heegaard splittings of 3- manifolds is to exhibit for each closed 3-manifold a complete list, without duplication, of all its irreducible Heegaard surfaces, up to isotopy. We solve this problem for non-Haken hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
