Review text

The author gives a new example of a wild Cantor set in \(S^ 3\) with simply connected complement; it is defined by handlebodies of genus 2 and is simpler than the examples known previously. The author also gives two characterizations of tame Cantor sets: a Cantor set C in \(S^ 3\) is tame if and only if it satisfies at least one of the conditions: (a) every unknotted simple closed curve in \(S^ 3-C\) lies in the interior of a 3-disk in \(S^ 3-C\), (b) \(\pi_ 1(S^ 3-C-K)\) is finitely generated for each unknotted simple closed curve K in \(S^ 3-C\).
