Abstract: Associated to every state surface for a knot or link is a state graph, which embeds as a spine of the state surface. A state graph can be decomposed along cut-vertices into graphs with induced planar embeddings. Associated with each such planar graph is a checkerboard surface, and each state surface is a fiber if and only if all of its associated checkerboard surfaces are fibers. We give an algebraic condition that characterizes which checkerboard surfaces are fibers directly from their state graphs. We use this to classify fibering of checkerboard surfaces for several families of planar graphs, including those associated with 2-bridge links. This characterizes fibering for many families of state surfaces.

Review text

This paper provides an excellent survey of prior work on fibered state surfaces, along with an algebraic condition that characterizes which checkerboard surfaces are fibers directly from their state graphs, using it to classify fibering of checkerboard surfaces for several families of planar graphs, including those associated with 2-bridge links. This is accomplished without restriction to specific Kauffman states and in a way that determines whether a particular fixed state surface is a fiber. Reviewer's Remark: Included among the authors' references is the 1979 paper in which T. Kanenobu was the first to mention the duplication in Rolfsen's 1976 knot table.
