| Oct 5, 2013 at 0:58 | comment | added | Chao Xu | Is there a more elementary reference for the "monogon" and "bigon" condition for a single closed curve? The one in "Primer on mapping class groups" is a proof about pairs of simple closed curves. I'm working on an application that only consider this problem for the plane with holes, so it be nice to just learn the special case without going too deep into the theory. | |
