Minimal Seifert manifolds for higher ribbon knots

Geometric Topology 2010-12-14 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

We show that a group presented by a labelled oriented tree presentation in which the tree has diameter at most three is an HNN extension of a finitely presented group. From results of Silver, it then follows that the corresponding higher dimensional ribbon knots admit minimal Seifert manifolds.
