A similar statement holds for links. We prove this using two arguments, one geometric and one combinatorial. The combinatorial argument further implies that every link with at least 2 twist regions and at least 6 crossings per twist region is hyperbolic and gives a lower bound for the genus of a link.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2005-06-15T03:50:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M25", "57M50" ], "keywords": [ "exceptional surgeries", "twist region", "similar statement holds", "knot admits", "non-trivial dehn" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math.....12307F" } } }
