Hi, All:
First of all, the title should be "Heegard Splitting of ## S^3 ## ; the 2-torus is not even a 3-manifold.

Let $p(x)=x^m-1$ be a polynomial over $\mathbb Q$ and $E$ be the splitting field for $p$ over $\mathbb Q$. We know that $p$ has $\phi(m)$ primitive roots in $E$, where $\phi$ is the Euler's totient function. Let $\omega$ be a primitive root of $p$.
Define $\theta_k:E\to E$ as...
