Abstract

A multiple group rack (MGR) is an algebraic system which is used to construct invariants of spatial surfaces, which are compact surfaces embedded in the 33-sphere S3S^{3}. Seifert surfaces for links are spatial surfaces. In this paper, we present an infinitely many pairs of Seifert surfaces for each link, where each pair satisfies the following condtions: (i) their regular neighborhoods in S3S^{3} are ambiently isotopic, (ii) their Seifert matrices are unimodularly congruent, and (iii) the two Seifert surfaces are not ambiently isotopic. In order to prove (iii), we distinguish the Seifert surfaces using the above invariants.
