On cyclic branched coverings of prime knots
The Torelli subgroup of Out(Fn) Mladen Bestvina, Utah The group in the title is the kernel of the natural map Out(Fn) –> GLn(Z). As for the classical mapping class group counterparts (except for the work of Mess in low genus), the basic features such as the dimension and finiteness properties are unknown. I will describe an approach to an understanding to these groups that leads to a complete s...
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 کاملSTRONGLY-CYCLIC BRANCHED COVERINGS OF KNOTS VIA (g, 1)-DECOMPOSITIONS
Strongly-cyclic branched coverings of knots are studied by using their (g, 1)-decompositions. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of such coverings are obtained. It is also shown that their fundamental groups admit geometric g-words cyclic presentations.
متن کاملStrongly-cyclic branched coverings of (1,1)-knots and cyclic presentations of groups
We study the connections among the mapping class group of the twice punctured torus, the cyclic branched coverings of (1, 1)-knots and the cyclic presentations of groups. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the n-fold stronglycyclic branched coverings of (1, 1)-knots, through the elements of the mapping class group. We prove that every n-fold stro...
متن کاملFinite groups acting on 3–manifolds and cyclic branched coverings of knots
We are interested in finite groups acting orientation-preservingly on 3–manifolds (arbitrary actions, ie not necessarily free actions). In particular we consider finite groups which contain an involution with nonempty connected fixed point set. This condition is satisfied by the isometry group of any hyperbolic cyclic branched covering of a strongly invertible knot as well as by the isometry gr...
