Abstract
Let M be an orientable compact irreducible and ∂-irreducible 3-manifold, and suppose ∂M consists of two boundary components F 1 and F 2 with g(F 1)=g(F 2)>1. Let M f be the closed orientable 3-manifold obtained by identifying F 1 and F 2 via a homeomorphism f:F 1→F 2. With the assumption that M is small or g(M, F 1)=g(M)+g(F 1), we show that if f is sufficiently complicated, then g(M f)=g(M, ∂M)+1.
