On the Algebraic Components of the Sl(2,c) Character Varieties of Knot Exteriors
We show that if a knot exterior satisfies certain conditions, then it has finite cyclic coverings with arbitrarily large numbers of nontrivial algebraic components in their SL2(C)-character varieties (Theorem A). As an example, these conditions hold for hyperbolic punctured torus bundles over the circle (Theorem B). We investigate in more detail the finite cyclic covers of the figure-eight knot...
متن کاملBranched Spherical Cr Structures on the Complement of the Figure Eight Knot
We obtain a branched spherical CR structure on the complement of the figure eight knot whose holonomy representation was given in [4]. There are essentially two boundary unipotent representations from the complement of the figure eight knot into PU(2, 1), we call them ρ1 and ρ2. We make explicit some fundamental differences between these two representations. For instance, seeing the figure eigh...
متن کاملThe 2-generalized Knot Group Determines the Knot
Generalized knot groups Gn(K) were introduced independently by Kelly (1991) and Wada (1992). We prove that G2(K) determines the unoriented knot type and sketch a proof of the same for Gn(K) for n > 2. 1. The 2–generalized knot group Generalized knot groups were introduced independently by Kelly [5] and Wada [10]. Wada arrived at these group invariants of knots by searching for homomorphisms of ...
متن کاملNon abelian twisted Reidemeister torsion for fibered knots
In this article, we give an explicit formula to compute the non-abelian twisted sign-determined Reidemeister torsion of the exterior of a fibered knot in terms of its monodromy. As an application, we give explicit formulae for the non abelian Reidemeister torsion of torus knots and of the figure eight knot.
