We study the way a strongly irreducible Heegaard surface ΣΣ intersects a knot exterior XX embedded in a 3-manifold, and show that if ΣXΣ\cap \partial X consists of simple closed curves which are essential in both ΣΣ and X\partial X, then the intersection XΣX \cap Σ consists of meridional annuli only. As an applicat…

We show that there are vast families of contact 3-manifolds each member of which admits infinitely many Stein fillings with arbitrarily big euler characteristics and arbitrarily small signatures ---which disproves a conjecture of Stipsicz and Ozbagci. To produce our examples, we set a framework which generalizes the co…
