Closed incompressible surfaces in complements of star links

Ulrich Oertel

Vol. 111 (1984), No. 1, 209–230
Abstract

A star link is constructed by plumbing bands with twists “according to a star graph”. In this paper the closed incompressible surfaces in most star link complements are determined. It is shown that Dehn surgery on star knots yields Haken manifolds in most cases, but also some non-Haken manifolds.
