Computing boundary slopes of 2-bridge links

Geometric Topology 2007-05-23 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We describe an algorithm for computing boundary slopes of 2-bridge links. As an example, we work out the slopes of the links obtained by 1/k surgery on one component of the Borromean rings. A table of all boundary slopes of all 2-bridge links with 10 or less crossings is also included.
