For a label $m$ of a chart $\\Gamma$ we denote by $\\Gamma_m$ the union of all the edges of label $m$ and their vertices. For a minimal chart $\\Gamma$ with exactly two crossings, we can show that the two crossings are contained in $\\Gamma_\\alpha\\cap\\Gamma_\\beta$ for some labels $\\alpha<\\beta$. In this paper, we study the structure of a disk $D$ not containing any crossing but satisfying $\\Gamma\\cap \\partial D\\subset\\Gamma_{\\alpha+1}\\cup \\Gamma_{\\beta-1}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-05T01:05:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57Q45", "57Q35" ], "keywords": [ "complementary domains", "minimal chart", "first step" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 40, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
