### On the classification of Heegaard splittings

#### Abstract

The long-standing classification problem in the theory of Heegaard splittings of $3$-manifolds is to exhibit for each closed $3$-manifold a complete list, without duplication, of all its irreducible Heegaard surfaces, up to isotopy. We solve this problem for non-Haken hyperbolic $3$-manifolds.
