Surgery on Links with Unknotted Components and Three-manifolds

چکیده
It is shown that any closed three-manifold M obtained by integral surgery on a knot in the three-sphere can always be constructed from integral surgeries on a 3-component link L with each component being an unknot in the three-sphere. It is also interesting to notice that infinitely many different integral surgeries on the same link L could give the same three-manifold M .

On Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds Obtained by Dehn Surgery on Links
We study the algebraic and geometric structures for closed orientable 3-manifolds obtained by Dehn surgery along the family of hyperbolic links with certain surgery coefficients and moreover, the geometric presentations of the fundamental group of these manifolds. We prove that our surgery manifolds are 2-fold cyclic covering of 3-sphere branched over certain link by applying the Montesinos the...
متن کاملDehn Surgery on Arborescent Links 3
This paper studies Dehn surgery on a large class of links, called arborescent links. It will be shown that if an arborescent link L is suuciently complicated, in the sense that it is composed of at least 4 rational tangles T (p i =q i) with all q i > 2, and none of its length 2 tangles are of the form T (1=2q 1 ; 1=2q 2), then all complete surgeries on L produce Haken manifolds. The proof needs...
متن کاملTopological Triviality of Smoothly Knotted Surfaces in 4-manifolds
Some generalizations of the Fintushel-Stern rim surgery are known to produce smoothly knotted surfaces. We show that if the fundamental groups of their complements are standard, then these surfaces are topologically unknotted.
متن کاملBrunnian links are determined by their complements
If L1 and L2 are two Brunnian links with all pairwise linking numbers 0, then we show that L1 and L2 are equivalent if and only if they have homeomorphic complements. In particular, this holds for all Brunnian links with at least three components. If L1 is a Brunnian link with all pairwise linking numbers 0, and the complement of L2 is homeomorphic to the complement of L1 , then we show that L2...
