Unknottability of spatial graphs by region crossing changes

Abstract

A region crossing change is a local transformation on spatial graph diagrams switching the over/under relations at all the crossings on the boundary of a region. In this paper, we show that a spatial graph of a planar graph is unknottable by region crossing changes if and only if the spatial graph is non-Eulerian or is Eulerian and proper.
