Abstract

Let LB→ LB be a hyperbolic transformation. Let B be a new band attaching to L such that LBB→ LBU{B} is also a hyperbolic transformation. In this paper, we will study the relationship between the realizing surfaces F(LBB→ LBU{B}) and F(LBB→ LBU{B}). If B is a noncoherent band to both L and LB such that F(LBB→B LBU{B}) is defined, then F(LBB→ LB) RP2 and F(LBB→ LUL{B})RP2 are ambient isotopic, where RP2 is one of the standard real projective planes. We will study the triviality of F(LBB→ LBU{B}) because as an application, RP2 can untangle some knotted sphere F(LB→ LB) with suitable conditions, when it is attached to F(LB→ LB) by the connected sum.
