Abstract

Every mathematical knot or link can be embedded crossing-free in the 2-manifold surface of a handle-body of appropriate genus. This is an investigation of how such an embedding changes when the surface is everted. The cases studied concern Knot 8₁₈ embedded in surfaces of genus 4 and the Borromean rings in surfaces of genus 3.
