  - "In graph theory, as well as in 3-manifold topology, there exist several width-type
    parameters to describe how \"simple\" or \"thin\" a given graph or 3-manifold
    is. These parameters, such as pathwidth or treewidth for graphs, or the concept
    of thin position for 3-manifolds, play an important role when studying algorithmic
    problems; in particular, there is a variety of problems in computational 3-manifold
    topology - some of them known to be computationally hard in general - that become
    solvable in polynomial time as soon as the dual graph of the input triangulation
    has bounded treewidth.\r\nIn view of these algorithmic results, it is natural
    to ask whether every 3-manifold admits a triangulation of bounded treewidth. We
    show that this is not the case, i.e., that there exists an infinite family of
    closed 3-manifolds not admitting triangulations of bounded pathwidth or treewidth
    (the latter implies the former, but we present two separate proofs).\r\nWe derive
    these results from work of Agol, of Scharlemann and Thompson, and of Scharlemann,
    Schultens and Saito by exhibiting explicit connections between the topology of
    a 3-manifold M on the one hand and width-type parameters of the dual graphs of
    triangulations of M on the other hand, answering a question that had been raised
    repeatedly by researchers in computational 3-manifold topology. In particular,
    we show that if a closed, orientable, irreducible, non-Haken 3-manifold M has
    a triangulation of treewidth (resp. pathwidth) k then the Heegaard genus of M
    is at most 18(k+1) (resp. 4(3k+1)).@eng"
