Review text

A surface-link is a closed surface locally flatly embedded in \(\mathbb{R}^4\). Two surface-links are equivalent if they are ambient isotopic in \(\mathbb{R}^4\). It is known that every orientable surface-link is equivalent to the closure of some braided surface. \newline The main results are as follows. Every surface-link is equivalent to a certain form called a plat form, or, the plat closure of some braided surface. Every orientable surface-link is equivalent to a surface-link in a plat form satisfying a certain condition, called a genuine plat form. In the proof, the author uses a banded link presentation of a surface-link.
