Abstract: We give an algorithm to decide which elements of pi_2(S^2 imes S^1#...#S^2 imes S^1) can be represented by embedded spheres. Such spheres correspond to splittings of the free group on k generators. Equivalently our algorithm decides whether, for a handlebody N, an element in pi_2(N,partial N) can be represented by an embedded disc. We also give an algorithm to decide when classes in can be represented by disjoint embedded spheres. We introduce the splitting complex of a free group which is analogous to the complex of curves of a surface. We show that the splitting complex of the free group on k generators embeds in the complex of curves of a surface of genus as a quasi-convex subset.
