摘要：
We prove a folklore theorem of Thurston, which provides necessary and sufficient conditions for primality of a certain class of theta-curves. Namely, a theta-curve in the 3-sphere with an unknotted constituent knot. is prime, if and only if lifting the third arc of the theta-curve to the double branched cover over. produces a prime knot. We apply this result to Kinoshita's theta-curve.
