On unknotting tunnel systems of satellite chain links

Darlan Girão, João Miguel Nogueira and António Salgueiro

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 22 (2022) 307–323
Abstract

We prove that the tunnel number of a satellite chain link with a number of components higher than or equal to twice the bridge number of the companion is as small as possible among links with the same number of components. We prove this result to be sharp for satellite chain links over a 2–bridge knot.

Dedicated to the memory of Darlan Girão
