Abstract
We give a parity condition of a Heegaard diagram implying that it is unstabilized. As applications, we show that Heegaard splittings of 2-fold branched coverings of n-component, n-bridge links in S3 are unstabilized, and we also construct unstabilized Heegaard splittings by Dehn twists on any given Heegaard splitting.
