چکیده

Suppose K is a hyperbolic knot in a solid torus V intersecting a meridian disk D twice. We will show that if K is not the Whitehead knot and the frontier of a regular neighborhood of K ∪ D is incompressible in the knot exterior, then K admits at most one exceptional surgery, which must be toroidal. Embedding V in S gives infinitely many knots Kn with a slope rn corresponding to a slope r of K in V . If r surgery on K in V is toroidal then either Kn(rn) are toroidal for all but at most three n, or they are all atoroidal and nonhyperbolic. These will be used to classify exceptional surgeries on wrapped Montesinos knots in solid torus, obtained by connecting the top endpoints of a Montesinos tangle to the bottom endpoints by two arcs wrapping around the solid torus.

The Classification of Exceptional Dehn Surgeries on 2-bridge Knots

A nontrivial Dehn surgery on a hyperbolic knot K in S is exceptional if the resulting manifold is either reducible, or toroidal, or a Seifert fibered manifold whose orbifold is a sphere with at most three exceptional fibers, called a small Seifert fibered space. Thus an exceptional Dehn surgery is non-hyperbolic, and using a version of Thurston’s orbifold theorem proved by Boileau and Porti [BP...

Incompressible surfaces in 2-bridge knot complements

To each rational number p/q, with q odd, there is associated the 2-bridge knot Kp/q shown in Fig. 1. QI bl Fig. 1. The 2-bridge knot Kp/q In (a), the central grid consists of lines of slope +p/q, which one can imagine as being drawn on a square "pillowcase". In (b) this "pillowcase" is punctured and flattened out onto a plane, making the two "bridges" more evident. The knot drawn is K3/5, which...

Dehn 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...

Non-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 ...

Small Seifert-fibered Dehn surgery on hyperbolic knots

In this paper, we define the primitive/Seifert-fibered property for a knot in S . If satisfied, the property ensures that the knot has a Dehn surgery that yields a small Seifert-fibered space (i.e. base S and three or fewer critical fibers). Next we describe the twisted torus knots, which provide an abundance of examples of primitive/Seifert-fibered knots. By analyzing the twisted torus knots, ...
