In addition, we provide a uniqueness theorem and demonstrate that many knots cannot possess totally geodesic Seifert surfaces by giving bounds on the width invariant in the presence of such a surface. Finally, we utilize these examples to demonstrate that the Six Theorem is sharp for knot complements in the 3-sphere.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-11-16T08:50:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M25", "57M50" ], "keywords": [ "hyperbolic knot", "link complements", "possess totally geodesic seifert surfaces", "knot complements", "width invariant" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math.....11358A" } } }
