Fibred closed braids with disc-band fibre surfaces
A classical result by Stallings provides a necessary and sufficient condition to decide whether a given embedded surface is a fibre in . In this paper it is described how to find a candidate fibre surface for a a link presented as a closed braid. Also it is described an implemented algorithm to find the main ingredients of the necessary and sufficient condition of Stallings, namely presentations of the fundamental groups of the surface and of its complement in , and an explicit expression of...
