LetSbe a compact orientable surface. For any graphGembedded onSand any closed curveDonSwe defineμG(D) as the minimum number of intersections ofGandD′, whereD′ ranges over all closed curves freely homotopic toD. We callGakernelifμG′≠μGfor each proper minorG′ ofG. We prove that ifGandG′ are kernels withμG=μG′(in such a way that each face ofGis an open disk), thenG′ can be obtained fromGby a series of the following operations: (i) homotopic shifts overS; (ii) taking the surface dual graph; (iii) ΔY-exchange (i.e., replacing a vertexvof degree 3 by a triangle connecting the three vertices adjacent tov, or conversely).
