Abstract
We define the IH-complex on the set of spatial trivalent graphs by using the IH-move, which is a local spatial move appeared in a study of knotted handlebodies. The IH-distance between two spatial trivalent graphs is defined by the minimal number of IH-moves needed to transform one into the other. It gives a distance function on the IH-complex. We give a lower bound for the IH-distance, and evaluate it.
