Symmetry groups of flat fully augmented links and their complements

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the (orientation-preserving) symmetry groups of bb-prime flat fully augmented links correspond exactly with the finite subgroups of O(3)O(3). We accomplish this by first developing a dictionary between automorphisms of a 33-connected planar cubic graph associated to a flat fully augmented link LL and orientation-preserving symmetries of LL. Our work also provides a simple method to explicitly construct infinite classes of distinct bb-prime flat fully augmented links {Li}\{L_i\} with Sym+(S3Li)Sym+(S3,Li)GSym^{+}(\mathbb{S}^{3} \setminus L_i) \cong Sym^{+}(\mathbb{S}^{3}, L_i) \cong G, for any GG that is a finite subgroup of O(3)O(3).
