Let \((\Sigma_g,\{\alpha_i\}_{i=1}^g, \{\beta_i\}_{i=1}^g)\) be a Heegaard diagram. We say that another diagram \((\Sigma_g,\{\alpha_i'\}_{i=1}^{g}, \{\beta_i'\}_{i=1}^{g})\) is related to \((\Sigma_g,\{\alpha_i\}_{i=1}^g, \{\beta_i\}_{i=1}^g)\) by an
- isotopy if the sets \(\{\alpha_i\}_{i=1}^g, \{\alpha_i'\}^g\) are isotopic in \(\Sigma_g\), or \(\{\beta_i\}_{i=1}^g, \{\beta_i'\}^g\) are isotopic in \(\Sigma_g\).
- handle slide if \(\alpha_i=\alpha_{i'}\) for \(i\neq g\), and the curves \(\alpha_{g-1}, \alpha_g, \alpha_g'\) bound a pair of pants in \(\Sigma_g\) disjoint from \(\{\alpha_i\}_{i=1}^{g-2}\) (or similarly for the \(\beta_i\)). See (handleslide)
