Fox has shown that for every closed connected surface smoothly embedded in S3,
the closure of each component of its complement is diffeomorphic to the
closure of the complement of a handlebody embedded in S3. In this paper, we
study a similar “Fox property” for smooth embeddings of Sp× Sq× Sr in
Sp+q+r+1.
