Closed incompressible surfaces of genus two in 3-bridge knot complements

Makoto Ozawa

Published 2007-02-28Version 1

In this paper, we characterize closed incompressible surfaces of genus two in the complements of 3-bridge knots and links. This characterization includes that of essential 2-string tangle decompositions for 3-bridge knots and links.
