On slope genera of knotted tori in 4-space

Geometric Topology 2013-02-08 v4 Group Theory

Abstract

In this note, we investigate genera for the slopes of a knotted torus in the 4-sphere analogous to the genus of a classical knot. We compare various formulations of this notion, and use this notion to study the extendable subgroup of the mapping class group of the knotted torus.
