چکیده
In this article it is proven that if a knot, K, bounds an imbedded grope of class n, then the knot is ⌈ 2 ⌉-trivial in the sense of Gusarov and Stanford. That is, all type ⌈ 2 ⌉ invariants vanish on K. We also give a simple way to construct all knots bounding a grope of a given class. It is further shown that this result is optimal in the sense that for any n there exist gropes which are not ⌈ 2 ⌉+1trivial.

متن کاملSeifert Fibred Knot Manifolds
We consider the question of when is the closed manifold obtained by elementary surgery on an n-knot Seifert fibred over a 2-orbifold. After some observations on the classical case, we concentrate on the cases n = 2 and 3. We have found a new family of 2-knots with torsion-free, solvable group, overlooked in earlier work. We show also that there are no aspherical Seifert fibred 3-knot manifolds....
متن کاملNon-triviality of the Cochran-orr-teichner Filtration of the Knot Concordance Group
We establish nontriviality results for certain filtrations of the smooth and topological knot concordance groups. First, as regards the n-solvable filtration of the topological knot concordance group, C, defined by K. Orr, P. Teichner and the first author [COT1]: 0 ⊂ · · · ⊂ F(n.5) ⊂ F(n) ⊂ · · · ⊂ F(1.5) ⊂ F(1.0) ⊂ F(0.5) ⊂ F(0) ⊂ C, we refine the recent nontriviality results of Cochran and Te...
متن کامل2 Ju l 1 99 9 BRAID COMMUTATORS AND DELTA FINITE - TYPE INVARIANTS
Delta finite-type invariants are defined analogously to finite-type invariants, using delta moves instead of crossing changes. We show that they are closely related to the lower central series of the commutator subgroup of the pure braid group. 0. INTRODUCTION We consider in this paper delta finite-type invariants of knots and links (∆FT invari-ants). In the case of links, these are the same in...
متن کاملHigher-order Alexander Invariants and Filtrations of the Knot Concordance Group
We establish certain “nontriviality” results for several filtrations of the smooth and topological knot concordance groups. First, as regards the n-solvable filtration of the topological knot concordance group, C, defined by K. Orr, P. Teichner and the first author: 0 ⊂ · · · ⊂ F(n.5) ⊂ F(n) ⊂ · · · ⊂ F(1.5) ⊂ F(1.0) ⊂ F(0.5) ⊂ F(0) ⊂ C, we refine the recent nontriviality results of Cochran and...
