Abstract
Recall that \({M}_{A} = {S}^{3}\setminus \setminus {S}_{A}\) is S 3 cut along the surface S A . In the last chapter, starting with a link diagram D(K), we obtained a prime decomposition of M A into 3-balls. One of our goals in this chapter is to show that, if D(K) is A-adequate (see Definition 1.1 on p. 4), each of these balls is a checkerboard colored ideal polyhedron with 4-valent vertices.
