Any Knot Complement Covers at Most One Knot Complement
Given a 3-manifold M , there are generically infinitely many manifold which covers M . However, if we are restricted to the category of knot complements, the situation is quite different. It can be shown (see Lemma 1 and bellow) that if the complement E(K) of a knot K is n-fold covered by some knot complement, then the covering is cyclic, and K admits a cyclic surgery, i.e. a Dehn surgery such ...
متن کاملHyperbolic Geometry on the Figure-Eight Knot Complement
The exact relationship between knot theory and non-euclidean geometry was a puzzle that survived more than 100 years. The histories of the two subjects were clearly intertwined; Carl Friedrich Gauss was a pioneer and did much to popularize both fields. After Gauss their two histories diverge a little, although taken together the list of luminaries in the two fields reads like a mathematical and...

متن کاملKnot polynomials via one parameter knot theory
We construct new knot polynomials. Let V be the standard solid torus in 3-space and let pr be its standard projection onto an annulus. LetM be the space of all smooth oriented knots in V such that the restriction of pr is an immersion (e.g. regular diagrams of a classical knot in the complement of its meridian). There is a canonical one dimensional homology class for each connected component of...
متن کاملKnot Floer homology in cyclic branched covers
In this paper, we introduce a sequence of invariants of a knot K in S3 : the knot Floer homology groups ĤFK(Σm(K); K̃, i) of the preimage of K in the m–fold cyclic branched cover over K . We exhibit ĤFK(Σm(K); K̃, i) as the categorification of a well-defined multiple of the Turaev torsion of Σm(K)− K̃ in the case where Σm(K) is a rational homology sphere. In addition, when K is a two-bridge knot, ...
