Abstract

Analogous to a classical link diagram, a surface-link can be generically projected to 3-space and given crossing information to create a broken sheet diagram. The triple point number of a surface-link is the minimal number of triple points among all broken sheet diagrams that lift to that surface-link. This paper generalizes a family of Oshiro to show that there are non-split surface-links of arbitrarily many trivial components whose triple point number can be made arbitrarily large.
