Abstract

Let Γ\Gamma be a chart. For each label mm, we denote by Γm\Gamma_m the "subgraph" of Γ\Gamma consisting of all the edges of label mm and their vertices. Let Γ\Gamma be a minimal chart of type (m;3,3)(m;3,3). That is, a minimal chart Γ\Gamma has six white vertices, and both of ΓmΓm+1\Gamma_m\cap\Gamma_{m+1} and Γm+1Γm+2\Gamma_{m+1}\cap\Gamma_{m+2} consist of three white vertices. Then Γ\Gamma is C-move equivalent to a minimal chart containing a "subchart" representing a 2-twist spun trefoil or its "reflection".
