Abstract

The second author and M. Sakuma gave a complete characterization of those essential simple loops on a 2-bridge sphere of a 2-bridge link which are nullhomotopic in the link complement. In this paper, we give an alternative proof to this result, by giving a simple proof for the small cancellation conditions of the upper presentations of 2-bridge link groups, which holds the key to the proof the result.
