Injectively Immersed Tori in Branched Covers over the Figure Eight Knot
The importance of this result lies primarily in the fact [HLM] that the figure eight knot is universal. That is, that all closed, orientable 3-manifolds are obtainable as branched covers over S, branched over the knot. We also obtain results about incompressible (embedded) tori in some cases. Existence or nonexistence of injectively immersed tori is critical to the understanding of a 3-manifold...
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, ...
متن کاملBranched Spherical Cr Structures on the Complement of the Figure Eight Knot
We obtain a branched spherical CR structure on the complement of the figure eight knot whose holonomy representation was given in [4]. There are essentially two boundary unipotent representations from the complement of the figure eight knot into PU(2, 1), we call them ρ1 and ρ2. We make explicit some fundamental differences between these two representations. For instance, seeing the figure eigh...
متن کاملDehn 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...
