Extract

Let k be a (smooth) knot in S3, → X the infinite cyclic covering of X = S3 – k corresponding to a generator of and let t generate the (infinite cyclic) group of covering transformations of . Various authors (1), (2), have shown that, for iterated torus knots, is of finite order (i.e. some power of t* is the identity).
