New infinite family of hyperbolic L-space knots with specific semigroups.

problem Characterizing semigroups of L-space knots.
method Defined formal semigroups from Alexander polynomials and analyzed hyperbolic knots.
result Found an infinite family of hyperbolic L-space knots with semigroups generated by five elements.

The study finds infinite meridional essential surfaces in hyperbolic knot exteriors of various genera.

problem Existence of meridional essential surfaces in hyperbolic knot exteriors.
method Essential tangle decompositions and meridional essential embeddings.
result Infinite collection of hyperbolic knots with meridional essential surfaces of arbitrary genus and boundary components.

We show that a hyperbolic 2-bridge knot complement is the unique knot complement in its commensurability class. We also discuss constructions of commensurable hyperbolic knot complements and put forth a conjecture on the number of hyperbolic knot complements in a commensurability class.

T. Saito and M. Teragaito asked whether Berge knots of type VII are hyperbolic, and showed that some infinite sequences of the knots are hyperbolic. We show that Berge knots of types VII and VIII are hyperbolic except the known sequence of torus knots. We used the Reidemeister torsions. As a result, the Alexander polyn…

The paper connects knot volume to AA-polynomial structure.

problem Understanding the relationship between knot volume and AA-polynomial structure.
method Examining satellite knots and their AA-polynomials to conjecture a connection with hyperbolic volume.
result The conjecture that knots with zero hyperbolic volume have AA-polynomials with specific factor structure.

How do Seifert surgeries on hyperbolic knots arise from those on torus knots? We approach this question from a networking viewpoint. The Seifert Surgery Network is a 1-dimensional complex whose vertices correspond to Seifert surgeries; two vertices are connected by an edge if one Seifert surgery is obtained from the ot…

problem Identifying new hyperbolic knots with specific properties.
method Examined SnapPy census and used knot theory to find new infinite family.
result First infinite family of strongly invertible hyperbolic L-space knots with braid index four and tunnel number two.

We complete the classification of hyperbolic pretzel knots admitting Seifert fibered surgeries. This is the final step in understanding all exceptional surgeries on hyperbolic pretzel knots. We also present results toward similar classifications for non-pretzel Montesinos knots of length three.

Topological quantum computers use hyperbolic knots for computations.

problem The difficulty of calculating quantum invariants of knots.
method Using hyperbolic knots to compute topological quantum computer invariants.
result The hyperbolic geometry of knots is unlikely to be useful for topological quantum computation.

For a hyperbolic knot in the 3-sphere, at most finitely many Dehn surgeries yield non-hyperbolic 3-manifolds. As a typical case of such an exceptional surgery, a toroidal surgery is one that yields a closed 3-manifold containing an incompressible torus. The slope corresponding to a toroidal surgery, called a toroidal s…

Hyperbolic knots decompose into prism orbifolds.

problem Understanding hyperbolic knot complements and their geometric properties.
method Analyzing knot complements as quotients of H3\mathbb{H}^3 by discrete groups of reflections in polyhedra with triangular prism combinatorial type.
result Knot complements decompose into hidden symmetries and contain closed, embedded, totally geodesic surfaces.

This paper shows hyperbolic knots can have arbitrarily large torsion in knot Floer homology.

problem Understanding the torsion order in knot Floer homology for hyperbolic knots.
method Unified approach using Upsilon torsion function.
result Arbitrarily large torsion orders realized by hyperbolic knots, most of which are twisted torus knots.

We show that the hyperbolic volume of a hyperbolic knot is a quandle cocycle invariant. Further we show that it completely determines invertibility and positive/negative amphicheirality of hyperbolic knots.

method Uses adjoint hyperbolic torsion polynomial to analyze double twist knots.
result The adjoint hyperbolic torsion polynomial determines the genus and fibering of double twist knots.

In 1978, W. Thurston revolutionized low diemsional topology with his work on hyperbolic 3-manifolds. In this paper, we discuss what is currently known about knots in the 3-sphere with hyperbolic complements. Then focus is on geometric invariants coming out of the hyperbolic structures. This is one of a collection of ar…

In this article we examine the conjecture of Neumann and Reid that the only hyperbolic knots in the 33-sphere which admit hidden symmetries are the figure-eight knot and the two dodecahedral knots. Knots whose complements cover hyperbolic reflection orbifolds admit hidden symmetries, and we verify the Neumann-Reid con…

The group of any nontrivial torus knot, hyperbolic 2-bridge knot, or hyperbolic knot with unknotting number one contains infinitely many elements, none the automorphic image of another, such that each normally generates the group.

It is conjectured that a hyperbolic knot admits at most three Dehn surgeries which yield closed three manifolds containing incompressible tori. We show that there exist infinitely many hyperbolic knots which attain the conjectural maximum number. Interestingly, those surgeries correspond to consecutive integers.

We complete the project begun by Callahan, Dean and Weeks to identify all knots whose complements are in the SnapPea census of hyperbolic manifolds with seven or fewer tetrahedra. Many of these ``simple'' hyperbolic knots have high crossing number. We also compute their Jones polynomials.
