Impossibility of obtaining split links from split links via twistings

Geometric Topology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We show that if a split link is obtained from a split link LL in S3S^3 by 1/n1/n-Dehn surgery along a trivial knot CC, then the link LCL\cup C is splittable. That is to say, it is impossible to obtain a split link from a split link via a non-trivial twisting. As its corollary, we completely determine when a trivial link is obtained from a trivial link via a twisting.
