On Generalized Knot Groups
Generalized knot groups Gn(K) were introduced first by Wada and Kelly independently. The classical knot group is the first one G1(K) in this series of finitely presented groups. For each natural number n, G1(K) is a subgroup of Gn(K) so the generalized knot groups can be thought of as extensions of the classical knot group. For the square knot SK and the granny knot GK, we have an isomorphism G...
متن کاملHomomorphisms of Knot Groups on Finite Groups
We describe trial and error computer programs for finding certain homomorphisms of a knot group on a special projective group LF(2, p), p prime, and programs to evaluate #i(3TC ; Z) where 9TC is a finitely sheeted branched covering space of S3 associated with such a homomorphism. These programs have been applied to several collections of examples, in particular to the Kinoshita-Terasaka knots, ...
متن کاملOn Residually Finite Knot Groups
The residual finiteness of the class of groups of fibred knots, or those knot groups with finitely generated and, therefore, free commutator subgroups, has been known for some time. Using Baumslag's results on absolutely parafree groups, this paper extends the result to twist knots (Whitehead doubles of the trivial knot) and certain other classes of nonfibred knots whose minimal spanning surfac...

متن کاملVirtual Knot Groups
Virtual knots, defined by Kauffman, provide a natural generalization of classical knots. Most invariants of knots extend in a natural way to give invariants of virtual knots. In this paper we study the fundamental groups of virtual knots and observe several new and unexpected phenomena. In the classical setting, if the longitude of a knot is trivial in the knot group then the group is infinite ...
