Surface-links whose triple point numbers are exactly 2n

By a 2-component surface-link such that each component is non-orientable, S. Satoh proved that for any positive integer n, there exists a 2-component surface-link whose triple point number is exactly 2n. In this talk, we show some other examples of the theorem. One of them implies that for any positive integer n, there exists 2-component surface-link such that it is composed of an orientable surface and a non-orientable surface and the triple point number is exactly 2n.
