We prove that given any knot k of genus g, k fails to be strongly n-trivial for all n, n ≥ 3g − 1.

Everywhere 1-trivial Knot Projections
A knot diagram is called everywhere n-trivial, if it turns into an unknot diagram by switching any set of n of its crossings. We show several partial cases of the conjecture that the knots with everywhere 1-trivial knot diagrams are exactly the trivial, trefoil and figure eight knots. We discuss a relation to 2-trivadjacent knots and prove some properties of such knots mainly concerning their H...
متن کاملAlexander Polynomial, Finite Type Invariants and Volume of Hyperbolic Knots
We show that given n > 0, there exists a hyperbolic knot K with trivial Alexander polynomial, trivial finite type invariants of orders ≤ n and such that the volume of the complement of K is larger than n. We compare our result with known results about the relation of hyperbolic volume and Alexander polynomials of alternating knots. We also discuss how our result compares with relations between ...
متن کاملThere Exist Non-trivial Pl Knots Whose Complements Are Homotopy Circles
We show that there exist non-trivial PL knots S n−2 ⊂ S n , n ≥ 5, whose complements have the homotopy type of circles. This is in contrast to the case of smooth, PL locally-flat, and topological locally-flat knots, for which it is known that if the complement has the homotopy type of a circle, then the knot is trivial. It is well-known that if the complement of a smooth, PL locally-flat, or to...
متن کاملNon-integral Toroidal Dehn Surgeries
If we perform a non-trivial Dehn surgery on a hyperbolic knot in the 3-sphere, the result is usually a hyperbolic 3-manifold. However, there are exceptions: there are hyperbolic knots with surgeries that give lens spaces [1], small Seifert fiber spaces [2], [5], [7], [20], and toroidal manifolds, that is, manifolds containing (embedded) incompressible tori [6], [7]. In particular, Eudave-Muñoz ...
متن کاملVassiliev Invariants and Rational Knots of Unknotting Number One
Introducing a way to modify knots using n-trivial rational tangles, we show that the number of n-trivial rational knots of at most k crossings is for any n asymptotically at least C(lnk)2 for any C < 2 ln2 pe. The method also extends a recent result of Ohyama, Taniyama and Yamada, showing that Vassiliev invariants are unrelated to the unknotting number. The same holds for 4genera, signatures an...
