Abstract

A Haken sphere $S$ in a 3-manifold $M$ with a Heegaard splitting $V\cup_F W$ is a separating 2-sphere in $M$ which intersects the Heegaard surface $F$ only in an essential circle in $F$. We describe how any two Haken spheres in the genus 2 Heegaard splitting of connected sum of two lens spaces are related, which extends Scharlemann–Thompson's corresponding result on Haken spheres in genus 2 Heegaard splitting for $S^3$.
