On Nonsimple Knots in Lens Spaces with Tunnel Number One

نویسنده

  • MICHAEL J. WILLIAMS
چکیده

A knot k in a closed orientable 3-manifold is called nonsimple if the exterior of k possesses a properly embedded essential surface of nonnegative Euler characteristic. We show that if k is a nonsimple prime tunnel number one knot in a lens space M (where M does not contain any embedded Klein bottles), then k is a (1, 1) knot. Elements of the proof include handle addition and Dehn filling results/techniques of Jaco, Eudave-Muñoz and Gordon as well as structure results of Schultens on the Heegaard splittings of graph manifolds.

Counting Genus One Fibered Knots in Lens Spaces

The braid axis of a closed 3–braid lifts to a genus one fibered knot in the double cover of S branched over the closed braid. Every (null homologous) genus one fibered knot in a 3–manifold may be obtained in this way. Using this perspective we answer a question of Morimoto about the number of genus one fibered knots in lens spaces. We determine the number of genus one fibered knots up to homeom...

6 Once - Punctured Tori and Knots in Lens Spaces

We determine the non-null homologous knots in lens spaces whose exteriors contain properly embedded once-punctured tori. All such knots arise as surgeries on the Whitehead link and are grid number 1 in their lens spaces.

And Knots in Lens Spaces

We determine the non-null homologous knots in lens spaces whose exteriors contain properly embedded once-punctured tori. All such knots arise as surgeries on the Whitehead link and are grid number 1 in their lens spaces. As a corollary, we classify once-punctured torus bundles that admit a lens space filling.

Draft V Ersion Lens Space Surgeries & Primitive/toroidal Constructions

We show that lens space surgeries on knots in S which arise from the primitive/toroidal construction also arise from the primitive/primitive construction. This continues a program to address the Berge Conjecture in the case of tunnel number one knots.

On Knot Floer Homology and Lens Space Surgeries

In an earlier paper, we used the absolute grading on Heegaard Floer homology HF to give restrictions on knots in S which admit lens space surgeries. The aim of the present article is to exhibit stronger restrictions on such knots, arising from knot Floer homology. One consequence is that all the non-zero coefficients of the Alexander polynomial of such a knot are ±1. This information in turn ca...
