That is, the set of essential surfaces (considered up to isotopy) survives unchanged in all suitably generic Dehn fillings. Furthermore, for all but finitely many non-generic fillings, we show that two essential surfaces can only become isotopic in a constrained way.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-02-27T20:03:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M99" ], "keywords": [ "essential surface", "torus boundary component", "suitably generic dehn fillings", "non-generic fillings", "inessential" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1001.4259B" } } }
