Hyperbolic tunnel-number-one knots with Seifert-fibered Dehn surgeries
Abstract
Suppose and are disjoint simple closed curves in the boundary of a genus two handlebody such that embeds in as the exterior of a hyperbolic knot (thus, is a tunnel-number-one knot), and is Seifert in (i.e., a 2-handle addition is a Seifert-fibered space) and not the meridian of . Then for a slope of represented by , -Dehn surgery is a Seifert-fibered space. Such a construction of Seifert-fibered Dehn surgeries generalizes that of Seifert-fibered Dehn surgeries arising from primtive/Seifert positions of a knot, which was introduced in [D03]. In this paper, we show that there exists a meridional curve of (or ) in such that intersects transversely in exactly one point. It follows that such a construction of a Seifert-fibered Dehn surgery can arise from a primtive/Seifert position of with its surface-slope. This result supports partially the two conjectures: (1) any Seifert-fibered surgery on a hyperbolic knot in is integral, and (2) any Seifert-fibered surgery on a hyperbolic tunnel-number-one knot arises from a primitive/Seifert position whose surface slope corresponds to the surgery slope.
