Let (V,W;F) be a weakly reducible unstabilized genus three Heegaard splitting in an orientable, irreducible 3–manifold M. In this article, we prove that either the disk complex D(F) is contractible or F is critical. Hence, the topological index of F is 2 if F is topologically minimal.
Keywords: $3$–manifold, Heegaard splitting, disk complex, topologically minimal surface
