Strongly invertible knots, rational-fold branched coverings and hyperbolic spatial graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
A construction of a spatial graph from a strongly invertible knot was developed by the second author, and a necessary and sufficient condition for the given spatial graph to be hyperbolic was provided as well. The condition is improved in this paper. This enable us to show that certain classes of knots can yield hyperbolic spatial graphs via the construction.

Finite 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...
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 کاملHyperbolic 2-fold Branched Coverings of Links and Their Quotients
Many 3-manifolds can be represented as 2-fold branched coverings of links, but this representation is, in general, not unique. In the Seifert fibered case the problem is usually local: For example, if K is a Montesinos knot its 2-fold branched covering is Seifert fibered and there exists a complete system of local geometric modifications on K by which we can get every other Montesinos knot with...

متن کاملSe p 20 01 Cyclic presentations of groups and branched cyclic coverings of ( 1 , 1
In this paper we study the connections between cyclic presentations of groups and branched cyclic coverings of (1, 1)-knots. In particular , we prove that every n-fold strongly-cyclic branched covering of a (1, 1)-knot admits a cyclic presentation for the fundamental group encoded by a Heegaard diagram of genus n.
