Let $H$ be a surface with topological index $n$. A surface is geometrically minimal if it is minimal with respect to the geometric notion used in the paper. Geometric minimality co…

Let $M$ be a 3-manifold containing unstabilized Heegaard surfaces $F$ and $G$, neither of which has topological index $1$. Suppose that the minimal-genus common stabilization of…
