We additionally provide a fix to a small error in Satoh's proof of the case that $K$ is a 2-bridge knot.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-01-30T17:50:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "connected sum", "unknotted projective plane", "twist spun sphere", "odd natural", "satohs proof" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
