Dehn filling and the knot group II: Ubiquity of persistent elements
Tetsuya Ito, Kimihiko Motegi, Masakazu Teragaito
Let be a nontrivial knot in . We say that an element of the knot group is \textit{persistent} if it remains nontrivial under all nontrivial Dehn fillings. Such elem…

Group theoretic perspective on Dehn fillings: Property P conjecture and beyond
Tetsuya Ito, Kimihiko Motegi, Masakazu Teragaito
The Property P Conjecture, which was settled by Kronheimer and Mrowka, asserts that every --manifold obtained by non-trivial Dehn surgery on a non-trivial knot is never simply c…

Every non-trivial knot group is fully residually perfect
Tetsuya Ito, Kimihiko Motegi, Masakazu Teragaito
Given a class of groups we say that a group is fully residually if for any finite subset of , there exists an epimorphism from to a group…
