Every (null homologous) genus one fibered knot in a 3-manifold may be obtained in this way. Using this perspective we answer a question of Morimoto about the number of genus one fibered knots in lens spaces. We determine the number of genus one fibered knots up to homeomorphism in any given lens space. This number is 3 in the case of the lens space L(4,1), 2 for the lens spaces L(m,1) with m>0, and at most 1 otherwise.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2006-03-20T17:34:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M50", "57M12", "57M25" ], "keywords": [ "lens space", "fibered knot", "counting genus", "braid axis", "closed braid" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math.....10391B" } } }
