Abstract

We will discuss tangle decompositions of tunnel number one links, and show that any tangle composite tunnel number one link can be obtained as the union of a quasi Hopf tangle and a trivial tangle. We also consider the uniqueness of tangle decompositions of such links, and show that there are infinitely many tunnel number one links that admit non-isotopic essential tangle decompositions.
