Abstract
A quasipositive braid is any product of conjugates of the standard generato rs of the braid group, and a quasipositive link in S-3 is isotopic to the c losure of quasipositive braid. In this Note we prove that the boundary of a n analytic curve ina pseudoconvex 4-ball is a quasipositive link. It was co njectured by Lee Rudolph.
