Abstract

A (1,1)(1,1)-knot in the 3-sphere is a knot that admits a 1-bridge presentation with respect to a Heegaard torus in S3\mathbb{S}^{3}. A new parameterization of (1,1)(1,1)-knots distinct from the classical ones is introduced. This parameterization is obtained from minimal-length representatives of homotopy classes of arcs in the mutipunctured plane. In the particular case of satellite (1,1)(1,1)-knots, it is proven that the introduced parameterization is essentially unique. A generalization of this parameterization to the family of (g,1)(g,1)-knots for any g1g\geq 1 is proposed.
