| Abstract: | ![]()
We show that any closed incompressible surface in the complement of a positive knot is algebraically non-split from the knot, positive knots cannot bound non-free incompressible Seifert surfaces and that the splittability and the primeness of positive knots and links can be seen from their positive diagrams.
