Abstract |
|
We prove that if is a nontrivial alternating link embedded (without crossings) in a closed surface , then has a compressing disk whose boundary intersects in no more than two points. Moreover, whenever the surface is incompressible and –incompressible in the link exterior, it can be isotoped to have a standard tube at some crossing of any reduced alternating diagram. |
