Knot Group Epimorphisms

Daniel S. Silver, Wilbur Whitten

Published 2004-05-24Version 1

Any knot group is the image of the group of a prime knot by a homomorphism that preserves peripheral structure. In fact, there are infinitely many such prime knots. A related partial order on knots is defined, and its properties are discussed.
