We generalise the surface-complexity of closed 3-manifolds to the compact case. This generalisation preserves the (natural generalisation of the) properties holding in the closed case: the surface-complexity on compact 3-manifolds is a natural number measuring how much the manifolds are complicated, it is subadditive under connected sum and it is finite-to-one on P2-irreducible and boundary-irreducible manifolds without essential annuli and Möbius strips. Moreover, for these manifolds, it equals the minimal number of cubes in an ideal cubulation of the manifold, except for a finite number of cases. We will also give estimations of the surface-complexity by means of ideal triangulations and Matveev complexity.

Abstract

We generalise the surface-complexity of closed 3-manifolds to the compact case. This generalisation preserves the (natural generalisation of the) properties holding in the closed case: the surface-complexity on compact 3-manifolds is a natural number measuring how much the manifolds are complicated, it is subadditive under connected sum and it is finite-to-one on P2-irreducible and boundary-irreducible manifolds without essential annuli and Möbius strips. Moreover, for these manifolds, it equals the minimal number of cubes in an ideal cubulation of the manifold, except for a finite number of cases. We will also give estimations of the surface-complexity by means of ideal triangulations and Matveev complexity.
