On Embedding the Infinite Cyclic Coverings of Knot Complements into Three Sphere
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct a class of knots with the CI∗ property, that is, π1(M(n) | ∂M(n)) = {e} for some n > 0. It follows that the infinite cyclic covering of such a knot cannot be embedded in any compact 3-manifold.

About Some Infinite Family of 2-bridge Knots and 3-manifolds
We construct an infinite family of 3-manifolds and show that these manifolds have cyclically presented fundamental groups and are cyclic branched coverings of the 3-sphere branched over the 2-bridge knots ( +1)2 or ( +1)1, that are the closure of the rational (2 −1)/( −1)–tangles or (2 −1)/ –tangles, respectively.
متن کاملHomologically Trivial Actions on Cyclic Coverings of Knots
A classical theorem of Hurewitz says that the isometry group of a closed 2-dimensional hyperbolic manifold acts faithfully on its first homology group. The analogous theorem in dimension 3 is false. In this paper we consider the class of 3-manifolds which are cyclic branched coverings of knots in the 3-sphere S. We characterize the isometry group actions which are homologically faithful in the ...
متن کاملOn periodic Takahashi manifolds
In this paper we show that periodic Takahashi 3-manifolds are cyclic coverings of the connected sum of two lens spaces (possibly cyclic coverings of S), branched over knots. When the base space is a 3-sphere, we prove that the associated branching set is a two-bridge knot of genus one, and we determine its type. Moreover, a geometric cyclic presentation for the fundamental groups of these manif...
متن کاملAny Knot Complement Covers at Most One Knot Complement
Given a 3-manifold M , there are generically infinitely many manifold which covers M . However, if we are restricted to the category of knot complements, the situation is quite different. It can be shown (see Lemma 1 and bellow) that if the complement E(K) of a knot K is n-fold covered by some knot complement, then the covering is cyclic, and K admits a cyclic surgery, i.e. a Dehn surgery such ...
متن کاملJu n 20 01 The many faces of cyclic branched coverings of 2 - bridge knots and links ∗
We discuss 3-manifolds which are cyclic coverings of the 3-sphere, branched over 2-bridge knots and links. Different descriptions of these manifolds are presented: polyhedral, Heegaard diagram, Dehn surgery and coloured graph constructions. Using these descriptions, we give presentations for their fundamental groups, which are cyclic presentations in the case of 2-bridge knots. The homology gro...
