Extract

A Haken manifold is a compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold which contains a properly embedded 2-sided, incompressible surface of positive genus. These manifolds are important in connection with the work of Haken, Waldhausen and the more recent work of Thurston (8). Thus it is interesting to investigate criteria for testing incompressible surfaces on 3-manifolds.
