Note on primitive disk complexes

Abstract: Given a Heegaard splitting of the 3-sphere, the primitive disk complex is defined to be the full subcomplex of the disk complex for one of the handlebodies of the splitting. It is an open question whether the primitive disk complex is connected or not when the genus of the splitting is greater than three. In this note, we prove that a quotient of the primitive disk complex, called the homotopy primitive disk complex, is connected.
