Abstract
For a compact surface with a finite set of marked points , we define a 1-system to be a collection of arcs which are pairwise non-homotopic and intersect pairwise at most once. We prove that, up to equivalence, there are exactly 23 maximal 1-systems on when is a torus and . Along the way, we generalize some of the results of a previous paper to the context of surfaces with boundary. In particular, we prove that the maximal cardinality of a 1-system on is , where is the Euler characteristic of and is the number of marked points of in the boundary of .
