Knot Groups That Are Not Subgroup Separable
This paper answers a question of Burns, Karrass and Solitar by giving examples of knot and link groups which are not subgroup-separable. For instance, it is shown that the fundamental group of the square knot complement is not subgroup separable. Let L denote the fundamental group of the link consisting of a chain of 4 circles. It is shown that L is not subgroup separable. Furthermore, it is sh...
متن کاملOn Generalized Knot Groups
Generalized knot groups Gn(K) were introduced first by Wada and Kelly independently. The classical knot group is the first one G1(K) in this series of finitely presented groups. For each natural number n, G1(K) is a subgroup of Gn(K) so the generalized knot groups can be thought of as extensions of the classical knot group. For the square knot SK and the granny knot GK, we have an isomorphism G...
متن کاملVirtual Knot Groups
Virtual knots, defined by Kauffman, provide a natural generalization of classical knots. Most invariants of knots extend in a natural way to give invariants of virtual knots. In this paper we study the fundamental groups of virtual knots and observe several new and unexpected phenomena. In the classical setting, if the longitude of a knot is trivial in the knot group then the group is infinite ...
متن کاملHomomorphisms of Knot Groups on Finite Groups
We describe trial and error computer programs for finding certain homomorphisms of a knot group on a special projective group LF(2, p), p prime, and programs to evaluate #i(3TC ; Z) where 9TC is a finitely sheeted branched covering space of S3 associated with such a homomorphism. These programs have been applied to several collections of examples, in particular to the Kinoshita-Terasaka knots, ...
متن کاملSymmetric Representations of Knot Groups
In this paper we give an explicit and constructive description of the pairs (p. A) of elements in the symmetric group S, which can be realized as the image of the meridian-longitude pair of some knot K in the 3-sphere S3 under a representation xi (S’ K) -t S,,. The result is applied to give an otherwise nonobvious restriction on the numbers of branch curves of a branched covering , of S’, answe...
