In this paper we construct infinitely many wild knots, $\mathbb{S}^{n}\hookrightarrow\mathbb{S}^{n+2}$, for $n=2,3,4$ and 5, each of which is a limit set of a geometrically finite Kleinian group. We also describe some of their properties

In this paper we study kleinian groups of Schottky type whose limit set is a wild knot in the sense of Artin and Fox. We show that, if the ``original knot'' fibers over the circle then the wild knot $\Lambda$ also fibers over the circle. As…

Starting with a smooth, non-trivial $n$-dimensional knot $K\subset\bS^{n+2}$, and a beaded $n$-dimensional necklace subordinated to $K$, we construct a wild knot with a Cantor set of wild points (\ie the knot is not locally flat in these…

In this paper, we provide explicit recursive constructions of infinitely many non-equivalent wild knots contained in the Menger sponge, in such a way that we can control their set of wild points that lies in a usual Cantor set contained in…

In this paper we prove that a wild knot $K$ which is the limit set of a Kleinian group acting conformally on the unit 3-sphere, with its standard metric, is homogeneous: given two points $p, q\in{K}$ there exists a homeomorphism $f$ of the…

Wild knots--knots with infinite knotting behavior--have resisted traditional methods of knot classification, making them more of a curiosity in topology than a subject of sustained investigation. In this paper, we present a new way to…

We describe a construction procedure of infinite sets of $2$-links in closed simply connected 4-manifolds that are topologically isotopic, smoothly inequivalent and componentwise topologically unknotted. These 2-links are the first examples…

We describe wild embeddings of polyhedra into $\mathbb{R}^N$ which show that the answer to the question of B.J. Baker--M. Laidacker (1989) concerning uncountable families of pairwise disjoint compacta can be twofold. The central idea of our…

In this paper we consider the Kleinian groups acting conformally on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+2}$ $(1\leq{n}\leq5)$ which have as limit sets wild spheres $K^n$ which were constructed in \cite{BHV} and prove that $K^n$ is ambient…

We consider pairs (X,Y) where X is a compact, locally CAT(-1) space, and Y is a totally geodesic subspace. The inclusion induces an embedding of the boundaries at infinity of the universal covers; we focus on the case where these are…

We introduce the notion of slice depth of a 2-knot K, which is the minimal integer n such that K is n-slice. We give an upper bound for the slice depth of the n-twist spin of a classical knot which belongs to several specific classes,…

A knot semigroup is defined by A. Vernitski. A. Vernitski conjectured that the knot semigroup of the 2-bridge knot is isomorphic to an alternating sum semigroup. To support this conjecture, and as a first main result, we prove that the knot…

We discuss a possible definition for "$k$-width" of both a closed $d$-manifold $M^d$, and on embedding $M^d \overset{e}{\hookrightarrow} \mathbb{R}^n$, $n > d \ge k$, generalizing the classical notion of width of a knot. We show that for…

C. Giller proposed an invariant of ribbon 2-knots in S^4 based on a type of skein relation for a projection to R^3. In certain cases, this invariant is equal to the Alexander polynomial for the 2-knot. Giller's invariant is, however, a…

For a knot $K$ in the 3-sphere and a simply connected closed 4-manifold $X$, we define the $X$-double slice genus of $K$, extending the notion from the case when $X$ is the 4-sphere. We show that for each integer $n$, there exists an…

This short survey, which was written to accompany a minicourse at the BIRS conference "Topology in dimension 4.5", concerns invariants of knotted $2$-spheres in $S^4$, also known as $2$-knots. It covers invariants extracted from the…

We use the famous knot-theoretic consequence of Freedman's disc theorem---knots with trivial Alexander polynomial bound a locally-flat disc in the 4-ball---to prove the following generalization. The degree of the Alexander polynomial of a…

We show that a 2-knot group discovered in the course of a census of 4-manifolds with small triangulations is an HNN extension with finite base and proper associated subgroups, and has the smallest base among such knot groups.

In this paper we describe what should perhaps be called a `type-2' Vassiliev invariant of knots S^2 -> S^4. We give a formula for an invariant of 2-knots, taking values in Z_2 that can be computed in terms of the double-point diagram of the…

The group of any nontrivial torus knot, hyperbolic 2-bridge knot, or hyperbolic knot with unknotting number one contains infinitely many elements, none the automorphic image of another, such that each normally generates the group.
