Comments are welcome!", "categories": [ "math.GT" ], "abstract": "Using the techniques on annulus twists, we observe that $6_3$ has infinitely many non-characterizing slopes, which affirmatively answers a question by Baker and Motegi. Furthermore, we prove that the knots $6_2$, $6_3$, $7_6$, $7_7$, $8_1$, $8_3$, $8_4$, $8_6$, $8_7$, $8_9$, $8_{10}$, $8_{11}$, $8_{12}$, $8_{13}$, $8_{14}$, $8_{17}$,$8_{20}$ and $8_{21}$ have infinitely many non-characterizing slopes. We also introduce the notion of trivial annulus twists and give some possible applications. Finally, we completely determine which knots have special annulus presentations up to 8-crossings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-03-16T12:52:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M25" ], "keywords": [ "non-characterizing slopes", "trivial annulus twists", "special annulus presentations", "techniques", "affirmatively answers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
