Seifert fibred knot manifolds

Abstract

We consider the question of when is the closed manifold obtained by elementary surgery on an nn-knot Seifert fibred over a 2-orbifold. After some observations on the classical case, we concentrate on the cases n=2 and 3. We have found a new family of 2-knots with torsion-free, solvable group, overlooked in earlier work. We know of no higher dimensional examples.

Comments

New co-author, stronger restrictions on possible Seifert bases. Final section on 3-knots reduced to a paragraph, as a lemma was misused in the original version. Version 3; minor improvements to first paragraph and notation
