Branched Cyclic Covers and Finite Type Invariants
This work identifies a class of moves on knots which translate to m-equivalences of the associated p-fold branched cyclic covers, for a fixed m and any p (with respect to the Goussarov-Habiro filtration). These moves are applied to give a flexible (if specialised) construction of knots for which the Casson-Walker-Lescop invariant (for example) of their p-fold branched cyclic covers may be readi...
متن کاملHyperbolic Structures on Branched Covers over Hyperbolic Links
Using a result of Tian concerning deformation of negatively curved metrics to Einstein metrics, we conclude that, for any fixed link with hyperbolic complement, there is a class of irregular branched covering spaces, branched over that link, effectively detectable by their branching indices, which consists entirely of closed hyperbolic manifolds. Section 0 Introduction. One of the elusive compo...
متن کاملFinite Type Invariants of Cyclic Branched Covers
Given a knot in an integer homology sphere, one can construct a family of closed 3-manifolds (parametrized by the positive integers), namely the cyclic branched coverings of the knot. In this paper we give a formula for the the Casson-Walker invariants of these 3-manifolds in terms of residues of a rational function (which measures the 2-loop part of the Kontsevich integral of a knot) and the s...
متن کاملKnot Floer homology in cyclic branched covers
In this paper, we introduce a sequence of invariants of a knot K in S3 : the knot Floer homology groups ĤFK(Σm(K); K̃, i) of the preimage of K in the m–fold cyclic branched cover over K . We exhibit ĤFK(Σm(K); K̃, i) as the categorification of a well-defined multiple of the Turaev torsion of Σm(K)− K̃ in the case where Σm(K) is a rational homology sphere. In addition, when K is a two-bridge knot, ...
متن کاملOn cyclic branched coverings of prime knots
The Torelli subgroup of Out(Fn) Mladen Bestvina, Utah The group in the title is the kernel of the natural map Out(Fn) –> GLn(Z). As for the classical mapping class group counterparts (except for the work of Mess in low genus), the basic features such as the dimension and finiteness properties are unknown. I will describe an approach to an understanding to these groups that leads to a complete s...
