Knot complements, hidden symmetries and reflection orbifolds
In this article we examine the conjecture of Neumann and Reid that the only hyperbolic knots in the 3-sphere which admit hidden symmetries are the figure-eight knot and the two dodecahedral knots. Knots whose complements cover hyperbolic reflection orbifolds admit hidden symmetries, and we verify the Neumann-Reid conjecture for knots which cover small hyperbolic reflection orbifolds. We also sh...
متن کاملGeneric Hyperbolic Knot Complements without Hidden Symmetries
We describe conditions under which, for a two-component hyperbolic link in S3 with an unknotted component, one can show that all but finitely many hyperbolic knots obtained by 1/n-surgery on that component lack hidden symmetries. We apply these conditions to the two-component links through nine crossings in the Rolfsen table, and to various other links in the literature. In each case we show th...
متن کاملHidden Symmetries of Cyclic Branched Coverings of 2-bridge Knots
We consider hyperbolic 3-manifolds Mn(K), which are nfold cyclic branched coverings of 2-bridge knots K. We show that for n ≥ 5 the orientation-preserving isometry group of Mn(K) either is a lift of a symmetry group of K or has a very special structure.
متن کاملCOMMENSURABILITY CLASSES OF (−2, 3, n) PRETZEL KNOT COMPLEMENTS
Let K be a hyperbolic (−2, 3, n) pretzel knot and M = S \ K its complement. For these knots, we verify a conjecture of Reid and Walsh: there are at most three knot complements in the commensurability class of M . Indeed, if n 6= 7, we show that M is the unique knot complement in its class. We include examples to illustrate how our methods apply to a broad class of Montesinos knots.
متن کاملIncompressible surfaces in 2-bridge knot complements
To each rational number p/q, with q odd, there is associated the 2-bridge knot Kp/q shown in Fig. 1. QI bl Fig. 1. The 2-bridge knot Kp/q In (a), the central grid consists of lines of slope +p/q, which one can imagine as being drawn on a square "pillowcase". In (b) this "pillowcase" is punctured and flattened out onto a plane, making the two "bridges" more evident. The knot drawn is K3/5, which...
