## Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to show that any embedding of __K~7~__ in threeβdimensional euclidean space contains a knotted cycle. By a similar but simpler argument, it is also shown that any embedding of __K~6~__ contains a pair of disjoint cycles which are homologically linked.

We give a spatial representation of the complete graph K n which contains exactly ( n 6 ) Hopf links consisting of pairs of disjoint 3-cycles, where ( n 6 ) is the minimum number of pairs of disjoint 3-cycles forming a non-split link contained in any spatial representation of K n . Furthermore, we s
For a graph G, let Ξ be either the set Ξ 1 of cycles of G or the set Ξ 2 of pairs of disjoint cycles of G. Suppose that for each Ξ³ β Ξ , an embedding In this paper, we have the following three results: (1) For the complete graph K 5 on 5 vertices and the complete bipartite graph K 3,3 on 3 + 3 ver
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
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
