Representations of homology 3-spheres

Hugh M. Hilden

Vol. 94 (1981), No. 1, 125–129
Abstract

Every homology 3-sphere can be represented as a framed link, in the sense of Kirby, of the following special type. There are k disjoint embeddings in S3 of a genus one surface with two boundary components. The link is the 2k boundary components. If q is the linking number of the i-th pair, then one of the components has framing q + 1, the other q 1.
