An invariant for open virtual strings
Daniel S. Silver, Susan G. Williams
Extended Alexander groups are used to define an invariant for open virtual strings. Examples of non-commuting open strings and a ribbon-concordance obstruction are given. An exampl…
Knot Group Epimorphisms
Daniel S. Silver, Wilbur Whitten
Any knot group is the image of the group of a prime knot by a homomorphism that preserves peripheral structure. In fact, there are infinitely many such prime knots. A related parti…
Alexander groups of long virtual knots
Daniel S. Silver, Susan G. Williams
Alexander group systems for virtual long knots are defined and used to show that any virtual knot is the closure of infinitely many long virtual knots. Manturov's result that there…
Lifting representations of Z-groups
Daniel S. Silver, Susan G. Williams
Let K be the kernel of an epimorphism G -> Z, where G is a finitely presented group. If K has infinitely many subgroups of index 2, 3, or 4, then it has uncountably many. Moreover,…
