Tangle sums and factorization of A-polynomials

Masaharu Ishikawa, Thomas W. Mattman, Koya Shimokawa

We show that there exist infinitely many examples of pairs of knots, K_1 and K_2, that have no epimorphism $π_{1} (S^{3} ∖ K_{1}) \to π_{1} (S^{3} ∖ K_{2})$ preserving peripheral s…

The $A$ -polynomial of the $(- 2, 3, 3 + 2 n)$ pretzel knots

Stavros Garoufalidis, Thomas W. Mattman

We show that the A-polynomial $A_{n}$ of the 1-parameter family of pretzel knots $K_{n} = (- 2, 3, 3 + 2 n)$ satisfies a linear recursion relation of order 4 with explicit constant coefficient…
