Abstract: |
Let $M$ be a compact connected $3$-submanifold of the 3-sphere $S^3$
with one boundary component $F$ such that there exists a collection
of $n$ pairwise disjoint connected orientable surfaces $\mathcal
S=\{S_1,\cdots, S_n\}$ properly embedded in $M$, $\partial{\mathcal
S}=\{\partial S_1,\cdots, \partial S_n\}$ is a complete curve system
on $F$. We call $\mathcal S$ a complete surface system for $M$, and
$\partial \mathcal{S}$ a complete spanning curve system for $M$. In
the present paper, the authors show that the equivalent classes of
complete spanning curve systems for $M$ are unique, that is, any
complete spanning curve system for $M$ is equivalent to $\partial
\mathcal S$. As an application of the result, it is shown that the
image of the natural homomorphism from the mapping class group
${\mathcal M}(M)$ to ${\mathcal M}(F)$ is a subgroup of the
handlebody subgroup ${\mathcal H}_n$. |
