An obstruction to a knot being deform-spun via Alexander polynomials

Ryan Budney, Alexandra Mozgova

Published 2007-04-30, updated 2009-02-16Version 2

We show that if a co-dimension two knot is deform-spun from a lower-dimensional co-dimension 2 knot, there are constraints on the Alexander polynomials. In particular this shows, for all n, that not all co-dimension 2 knots in S^n are deform-spun from knots in S^{n-1}.
