Equivalent Separating Curves on Surfaces and Its Applications to Haken Spheres

1 Introduction Let A be a collection of n pairwise disjoint simple closed curves on an orientable closed surface F of genus n ≥2. We say that A is a complete system of F if the surface obtained by cutting F along A is a 2n-punctured sphere. Let A1, A2 be two non-empty subsets of A. We say that (A1,A2) is a partition of A if A1 ∩A2 = (?) and A1 ∪A2 = A. Let (A1, A2) be a partition of A on F, and C a simple closed curve on F. We say that C is separating with respect to (A1, A2) if it is disjoint from A and it cuts F into two pieces F1,F2 with A1(?) F1,A2 (?) F2.

Equivalent Separating Curves on Closed Surface of Genus 2

Let {A,B} be a complete system of the closed orientable surface F of genus 2. A simple closed curve C on F is separating with respect to (A, B) if it is disjoint from A∪B and it cuts F into two once-punctured tori X, Y with A(?)X, B(?)Y. Letγbe a simple closed curve on F which is disjoint from A∪B and intersects C essentially in two points. In this paper, we show that up to isotopy, {hnγ(C):n∈Z} is the set containing all the simple closed curves on F which is separating with respect to (A,B), where hγis the Dehn twist alongγon F. This also shows how two simple closed curves on F which are separating with respect to (A,B) are related. The result can be applied to yield all Haken spheres of a Heegaard splitting V∪F W which are weakly equivalent to a given Heken sphere of the splitting.
