[For the entire collection see Zbl 0747.00024.] Let \(M\) be a compact orientable 3-manifold with boundary a torus. \textit{M. Culler} and \textit{P. B. Shalen} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 117, 109-146 (1983; Zbl 0529.57005)] have shown how ideal points of irreducible curves in the character variety of \(\pi_ 1(M)\) give rise to incompressible surfaces in \(M\). Such an incompressible surface is said to be ``detected''. There is a related notion of a boundary slope being detected. Here an example is given of a boundary slope in the complement of a knot in a rational homology sphere which is not detected.
