چکیده
Let rm and rM be the least and greatest finite boundary slopes of a hyperbolic knot K in S . We show that any cyclic surgery slopes of K must lie in the interval (rm − 1/2, rM + 1/2). AMS Classification 57M25; 57M27

Exceptional Surgery and Boundary Slopes
Let X be a norm curve in the SL(2,C)-character variety of a knot exterior M . Let t = ‖β‖/‖α‖ be the ratio of the Culler-Shalen norms of two distinct non-zero classes α, β ∈ H1(∂M,Z). We demonstrate that either X has exactly two associated strict boundary slopes ±t, or else there are strict boundary slopes r1 and r2 with |r1| > t and |r2| < t. As a consequence, we show that there are strict bou...
متن کاملA Proof of the Finite Filling Conjecture
Let M be a compact, connected, orientable, hyperbolic 3-manifold whose boundary is a torus. We show that there are at most five slopes on ∂M whose associated Dehn fillings have either a finite or an infinite cyclic fundamental group. Furthermore, the distance between two slopes yielding such manifolds is no more than three, and there is at most one pair of slopes which realize the distance thre...
متن کاملBearing Capacity of Strip Footings near Slopes Using Lower Bound Limit Analysis
Stability of foundations near slopes is one of the important and complicated problems in geotechnical engineering, which has been investigated by various methods such as limit equilibrium, limit analysis, slip-line, finite element and discrete element. The complexity of this problem is resulted from the combination of two probable failures: foundation failure and overall slope failure. The curr...
متن کاملReducible And Finite Dehn Fillings
We show that the distance between a finite filling slope and a reducible filling slope on the boundary of a hyperbolic knot manifold is at most one. Let M be a knot manifold, i.e. a connected, compact, orientable 3-manifold whose boundary is a torus. A knot manifold is said to be hyperbolic if its interior admits a complete hyperbolic metric of finite volume. Let M(α) denote the manifold obtain...
متن کاملA quadratic bound on the number of boundary slopes of essential surfaces with bounded genus
Let M be an orientable 3-manifold with ∂M a single torus. We show that the number of boundary slopes of immersed essential surfaces with genus at most g is bounded by a quadratic function of g. In the hyperbolic case, this was proved earlier by Hass, Rubinstein and Wang. Subject class: 57M50, 57N10
