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.

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

A knot k in S 3 has tunnel number one, if there exist an arc τ embedded in S 3 , with k ∩ τ = ∂τ , such that S 3int N(k ∪ τ ) is a genus 2 handlebody. In this paper we construct for each integer g 2, infinitely many tunnel number one knots, whose complement contain a closed incompressible surface o

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
