Dehn Surgery on the Figure 8 Knot: Immersed Surfaces
It is known that about 70% of surgeries on the figure 8 knot give manifolds which contain immersed incompressible surfaces. We improve this to about 80% by giving a very simple proof that all even surgeries give manifolds containing such a surface. Moreover, we give a quick proof that every (6k, t) surgery is virtually Haken, thereby partially dealing with some exceptional cases in Baker’s resu...
متن کاملC-incompressible Planar Surfaces in Knot Complements
In [6] Wu shows that if a link or a knot L in S3 in thin position has thin spheres, then the thin sphere of lowest width is an essential surface in the link complement. In this paper we show that if we further assume that L ⊂ S3 is prime, then the thin sphere of lowest width also does not have any cut-disks. We also prove an analogous result for a specific kind of tangles in
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...
متن کاملOne-Sided Interval Trees
We give an alternative treatment and extension of some results of Itoh and Mahmoud on one-sided interval trees. The proofs are based on renewal theory, including a case with mixed multiplicative and additive renewals.
متن کاملClosed Incompressible Surfaces of Genus Two in 3-bridge Knot Complements
In this paper, we characterize closed incompressible surfaces of genus two in the complements of 3-bridge knots and links. This characterization includes that of essential 2-string tangle decompositions for 3-bridge knots and links.
