The 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 کاملOn 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 کاملKnot Group Epimorphisms
Let G be a finitely generated group, and let λ ∈ G. If there exists a knot k such that πk = π1(S \k) can be mapped onto G sending the longitude to λ, then there exists infinitely many distinct prime knots with the property. Consequently, if πk is the group of any knot (possibly composite), then there exists an infinite number of prime knots k1, k2, · · · and epimorphisms · · · → πk2 → πk1 → πk ...
متن کاملThe Knot Group and The Jones Polynomial
In this thesis, basic knot theory is introduced, along with concepts from topology, algebra and algebraic topology, as they relate to knot theory. In the first chapter, basic definitions concerning knots are presented. In the second chapter, the fundamental group is applied as a method of distinguishing knots. In particular the torus knots are classified using the fundamental group, and a gener...
متن کاملKnot Group Epimorphisms, II
We consider the relations ≥ and ≥p on the collection of all knots, where k ≥ k (respectively, k ≥p k) if there exists an epimorphism πk → πk of knot groups (respectively, preserving peripheral systems). When k is a torus knot, the relations coincide and k must also be a torus knot; we determine the knots k that can occur. If k is a 2-bridge knot and k ≥p k, then k is a 2-bridge knot with determ...
