4 球体中的每个嵌入表面 $mathcal{K}$ 都允许桥三等分,将 $(S^4,mathcal{K})$ 分解为三个简单的部分。在这种情况下,表面$mathcal{K}$由嵌入的1-复形确定,称为桥三等分的$extit{1-骨架}$。作为一个抽象图,1-骨架是一个立方图 $Gamma$,它继承了自然的 Tait 着色,即 $Gamma$ 边集的 3 着色,使得每个顶点都与所有三种颜色的边相关联。在本文中,我们反转了这种关联:我们证明每个泰特色立方图都同构于对应于无结曲面的桥三等分的 1-骨架。当表面不可定向时,我们表明对于每个可能的正规欧拉数都存在这样的嵌入。作为推论,通过交叉变化和内部 Reidemeister 移动,每个有结曲面的三平面图都可以转换为无结曲面的三平面图。
Every embedded surface $mathcal{K}$ in the 4-sphere admits a bridge trisection, a decomposition of $(S^4,mathcal{K})$ into three simple pieces. In this case, the surface $mathcal{K}$ is determined by an embedded 1-complex, called the $ extit{1-skeleton}$ of the bridge trisection. As an abstract graph, the 1-skeleton is a cubic graph $Gamma$ that inherits a natural Tait coloring, a 3-coloring of the edge set of $Gamma$ such that each vertex is incident to edges of all three colors. In this paper, we reverse this association: We prove that every Tait-colored cubic graph is isomorphic to the 1-skeleton of a bridge trisection corresponding to an unknotted surface. When the surface is nonorientable, we show that such an embedding exists for every possible normal Euler number. As a corollary, every tri-plane diagram for a knotted surface can be converted to a tri-plane diagram for an unknotted surface via crossing changes and interior Reidemeister moves.
