Essential surfaces in highly twisted link complements
Ryan Blair, David Futer, Maggy Tomova
We prove that in the complement of a highly twisted link, all closed, essential, meridionally incompressible surfaces must have high genus. The genus bound is proportional to the n…

Distance Two Links
Ryan Blair, Marion Campisi, Jesse Johnson +2
In this paper, we characterize all links in the 3-sphere with bridge number at least three that have a bridge sphere of distance two. We show that a link L has a bridge sphere of d…

A prime decomposition theorem for the 2-string link monoid
Ryan Blair, John Burke, Robin Koytcheff
In this paper we use 3-manifold techniques to illuminate the structure of the string link monoid. In particular, we give a prime decomposition theorem for string links on two compo…
