JSJ decompositions of knot exteriors, Dehn surgery and the -space conjecture

Steven Boyer, Cameron McA. Gordon, Ying Hu

In this article, we apply slope detection techniques to study properties of toroidal -manifolds obtained by performing Dehn surgeries on satellite knots in the context of the $L…

Recalibrating -order trees and $\mbox{Homeo}_+(S^1)$-representations of link groups

Steven Boyer, Cameron McA. Gordon, Ying Hu

In this paper we study the left-orderability of -manifold groups using an enhancement, called recalibration, of Calegari and Dunfield's "flipping" construction, used for modifyi…

Order-detection of slopes on the boundaries of knot manifolds

Steven Boyer, Adam Clay

Motivated by the L-space conjecture, we investigate various notions of order-detection of slopes on knot manifolds. These notions are designed to characterise when rational homolog…

Slope detection and toroidal 3-manifolds

Steven Boyer, Cameron McA Gordon, Ying Hu

The -space conjecture asserts the equivalence, for prime 3-manifolds, of three properties: not being an -space, having a left-orderable fundamental group, and admitting a co-…

Dehn fillings of knot manifolds containing essential twice-punctured tori

Steven Boyer, Cameron McA. Gordon, Xingru Zhang

We show that if a hyperbolic knot manifold contains an essential twice-punctured torus with boundary slope and admits a filling with slope producing a Seifert fibre…

On definite strongly quasipositive links and L-space branched covers

Michel Boileau, Steven Boyer, Cameron McA. Gordon

We investigate the problem of characterising the family of strongly quasipositive links which have definite symmetrised Seifert forms and apply our results to the problem of determ…
