The first obstruction is being cyclically commensurable with another knot complement. This result provides a partial answer to a conjecture of Boileau, Boyer, Cebanu, and Walsh. We also provide a second obstruction to admitting hidden symmetries in the case where a small knot complement covers a manifold admitting some symmetry and at least two exceptional surgeries.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-12-13T03:38:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M10" ], "keywords": [ "exceptional surgeries", "admitting hidden symmetries", "small knot complement covers", "second obstruction", "first obstruction" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 31, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1110.3863H" } } }
