Spotted disk and sphere graphs I

Abstract

The disk graph of a handlebody H of genus g at least 2 with m marked points on the boundary is the graph whose vertices are isotopy classes of disks disjoint from the marked points and where two vertices are connected by an edge if they can be realized disjointly. We show that for m=1 the disk graph contains quasi-isometrically embedded copies of R2. The same holds true for the sphere graph of the double handlebody with one marked point provided that g is even.
