contents We study distance relations in various simplicial complexes associated with low-dimensional manifolds. In particular, complexes satisfying certain topological conditions with vertices as simple multi-curves. We obtain bounds on the distances in such complexes in terms of number of components in the vertices and distance in the curve complex. We then define new invariants for closed 3-manifolds and handlebody-knots. These are defined using the splitting distance which is calculated using the distance in a simplicial complex associated with the splitting surface arising from the Heegard decompositions of the 3-manifold. We prove that the splitting distances in each case is bounded from below under stabilizations and as a result the associated invariants converge to a non-trivial limit under stabilizations.
