Incompressible surfaces in tunnel number one knot complements

M Eudave-Muñoz - Topology and its Applications, 1999 - Elsevier
A knot k in S3 has tunnel number one, if there exist an arc τ embedded in S3, with k∩ τ=∂ τ,
such that S 3− int N (k∪ τ) is a genus 2 handlebody. In this paper we construct for each …

4-punctured tori in the exteriors of knots

M Eudave-Muñoz - Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications, 1997 - World Scientific
In this paper we construct an infinite family of hyperbolic knots, each having a Dehn surgery
which produces a manifold containing an incompressible torus, which hits the core of the …

There are no unexpected tunnel number one knots of genus one

M Scharlemann - Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 2004 - ams.org
We show that the only knots that are tunnel number one and genus one are those that are
already known: $2 $-bridge knots obtained by plumbing together two unknotted annuli and …

Annular and boundary reducing Dehn fillings

Incompressible surfaces and (1, 1)-knots

M Eudave-Muñoz - Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications, 2006 - World Scientific
Let M be S3, S1× S2, or a lens space L (p, q), and let k be a (1, 1)-knot in M. We show that if
there is a closed meridionally incompressible surface in the complement of k, then the …
