Some examples of essential laminations in 3-manifolds

Allen Hatcher (1992)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Families of codimension-one foliations and laminations are constructed in certain 3-manifolds, with the property that their transverse intersection with the boundary torus of the manifold consists of parallel curves whose slope varies continuously with certain parameters in the construction. The 3-manifolds are 2-bridge knot complements and punctured-torus bundles.

Notes on tiled incompressible tori

Leonid Plachta (2012)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

Let Θ denote the class of essential tori in a closed braid complement which admit a standard tiling in the sense of Birman and Menasco [Birman J.S., Menasco W.W., Special positions for essential tori in link complements, Topology, 1994, 33(3), 525–556]. Moreover, let R denote the class of thin tiled tori in the sense of Ng [Ng K.Y., Essential tori in link complements, J. Knot Theory Ramifications, 1998, 7(2), 205–216]. We define the subclass B ⊂ Θ of typical tiled tori and show that...
