A knot with destabilized bridge spheres of arbitrarily high bridge number

Geometric Topology 2017-05-17 v2

Abstract

We show that there exists an infinite family of knots, each of which has, for each integer k>=0, a destabilized (2k+5)-bridge sphere. We also show that, for each integer n>=4, there exists a knot with a destabilized 3-bridge sphere and a destabilized n-bridge sphere.
