Left-orderability, branched covers and double twist knots
نویسندگان
چکیده
For some families of two-bridge knots, including double twist knots with genus at least four, we determine precisely the set integers n > 1 n>1 such that fundamental group alttext="n"> encoding="application/x-tex">n -fold cyclic branched cover 3-sphere along these is left-orderable. There are figure-eight knot, for which this empty. We give first class hyperbolic not type, can be completely determined.

متن کاملOn Knot Floer Homology in Double Branched Covers
Let L be a link in A×I where A is an annulus. We consider A×I to be embedded in R2×R respecting the obvious fibration and embedding A into a round annulus in R2. We always project L into R2 (or A) along the R-fibration. The complement of L in A × I is thereby identified with the complement of B∪L in S3 where B an unknot as depicted below, called the axis of L. We assume throughout that L inters...
متن کاملOn the Heegaard Floer Homology of Branched Double-covers
Let L ⊂ S be a link. We study the Heegaard Floer homology of the branched double-cover Σ(L) of S, branched along L. When L is an alternating link, ĤF of its branched double-cover has a particularly simple form, determined entirely by the determinant of the link. For the general case, we derive a spectral sequence whose E term is a suitable variant of Khovanov’s homology for the link L, convergi...

We show that several torsion free 3-manifold groups are not left-orderable. Our examples are groups of cyclic branched coverings of S branched along links. The figure eight knot provides simple nontrivial examples. The groups arising in these examples are known as Fibonacci groups which we show not to be left-orderable. Many other examples of non-orderable groups are obtained by taking 3-fold b...
متن کاملLegendrian and Transverse Twist Knots
In 1997, Chekanov gave the first example of a Legendrian nonsimple knot type: the m(52) knot. Epstein, Fuchs, and Meyer extended his result by showing that there are at least n different Legendrian representatives with maximal Thurston–Bennequin number of the twist knot K−2n with crossing number 2n+1. In this paper we give a complete classification of Legendrian and transverse representatives o...
