Abstract
Let denote a closed oriented surface of genus . A set of pairwise non-homotopic simple closed curves on is called a filling system or simply a filling of , if is a union of topological discs for some . For , let denotes the Dehn twist along . In this article, we show that for each , there exists a filling of such that the group is isomorphic to the free group of rank .
