COMMON STABILIZATIONS OF HEEGAARD SPLITTINGS OF KNOT EXTERIORS
Lee, Jung-Hoon;

Abstract
In [4], we gave a condition for a pair of unknotting tunnels of a non-trivial tunnel number one link to give a genus three Heegaard splitting of the link complement. In this paper we prove the corresponding result for tunnel number one knots.
