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.展开更多

A simple closed curve C on F is separating with respect to (A, B) if it is disjoint from A U B and it cuts F into two once-punctured tori X, Y with A belong X, B belong Y. Let γ be 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, {hγ^n(C) : n ∈ Z} is the set containing all the simple closed curves on F which is separating with respect to (A, B), where hγ is the Dehn twist along γ on 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.展开更多
