On the determination of knots by their cyclic unbranched coverings

Geometric Topology 2008-05-27 v3

Abstract

We show that, for any prime p, a knot K in the 3-sphere is determined by its p-fold cyclic unbranched covering. We also investigate when the m-fold cyclic unbranched covering of a knot coincides with the n-fold cyclic unbranched covering of another knot, for different coprime integers m and n.
