We prove that the complements of all knots and links in S 3 which have a 2n-plat projection with absolute value of all twist coefficients bigger than 2 contain closed embedded incompressible nonboundary parallel surfaces. These surfaces are obtained from essential planar meridional surfaces by tubin
Lower bounds for the Betti numbers for homology groups of racks and quandles will be given using the quotient homomorphism to the orbit quandles. Exact sequences relating various types of homology groups are analyzed. Geometric methods of proving non-triviality of cohomology groups are also given, u
We define the notion of wide knots (and links) and show that they contain closed incompressible nonboundary parallel surfaces in their complement. This is done by proving that these complements admit Heegaard splittings which are irreducible but weakly reducible, and using an extension of a result o
