Abstract

We give a constructive proof of a Theorem of Izmestiev and Joswig. Namely, given $(L,\omega)$ where $L$ is a link in $S^{3}$ and $\omega$ a simple (not necessarily transitive) representation of $\pi_{1}(S^{3}\backslash L)$ onto the symmetric group $\Sigma_{4}$ of four elements $\{1,2,3,4\}$ we construct a triangulation of $S^{3}$ giving rise to $(L,\omega)$ in a natural way.
