Abstract: In 2000, Hempel introduced the Heegaard distance for studying a Heegaard splitting. Since then, many classical results have been obtained. Among them, one result is that distance at least three Heegaard splitting is of a hyperbolic 3-manifold. In this talk, we will share some recent results on distance two Heegaard splittings. This is a joint work with Wenjie Diao, Ruifeng Qiu.
