Let $f_{G}(¥ell)$ be the minimum number of intersections of $G$ and a $c1_{08}ed$ curve $¥ell^{¥prime}$ , where $¥ell^{¥prime}$ ranges over all closed curves homotopic to $¥ell$ . An embedding $G$ on the torus is said to be akernel if for any proper minor $T$ of $G$ , $f_{G}(¥ell)>f_{T}(¥ell)$ for some $¥ell$ . In this paper, we show that any two kernels $G$ and $G^{¥prime}$ on the torus with $f_{G}=f_{G}$, can be transformed into each other by a sequence of $Y¥Delta-e$xchanges.}, pages = {183--189}, title = {THE $ Y¥Delta$ -EQUIVALENCE OF KERNELS ON THE TORUS WITHOUT TAKING DUALS}, volume = {47}, year = {1999} }
