โœฆ Synopsis

In this paper, we deal with incompressible pairwise incompressible surfaces in almost alternating knot complements. We show that the genus of a surface in an almost alternating knot exterior equals zero if there are two, four or six boundary components in the surface.

A knot k in S 3 has tunnel number one, if there exist an arc ฯ„ embedded in S 3 , with k โˆฉ ฯ„ = โˆ‚ฯ„ , such that S 3int N(k โˆช ฯ„ ) is a genus 2 handlebody.

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
