Virtually Embedded Boundary Slopes
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that for certain hyperbolic manifolds all boundary slopes are slopes of π1-injective immersed surfaces, covered by incompressible embeddings in some finite cover. The manifolds include hyperbolic punctured torus bundles and hyperbolic two-bridge knots.

We show that \most" Dehn-llings of a non-bered, atoroidal, Haken three-manifold with torus boundary are virtually Haken. 1 Results Suppose that X is a compact, oriented, three-manifold with boundary a torus T: We will pick a basis of H 1 (T) represented by simple loops ; such that = 0 in H 1 (X; Q): We call a longitude and a meridian. A slope, ; on T is the isotopy class of essential unoriented...
متن کاملBoundary Slopes of 2-Bridge Links Determine the Crossing Number
A diagonal surface in a link exterior M is a properly embedded, incompressible, boundary incompressible surface which furthermore has the same number of boundary components and same slope on each component of ∂M . We derive a formula for the boundary slope of a diagonal surface in the exterior of a 2-bridge link which is analogous to the formula for the boundary slope of a 2-bridge knot found b...
متن کاملGraph manifolds with boundary are virtually special
Let M be a graph manifold. We prove that fundamental groups of embedded incompressible surfaces in M are separable in π1M , and that the double cosets for crossing surfaces are also separable. We deduce that if there is a ‘sufficient’ collection of surfaces in M , then π1M is virtually the fundamental group of a special non-positively curved cube complex. We provide a sufficient collection for ...
متن کاملExceptional 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...
