This is done by giving an algorithm to decide if a closed curve in the manifold is null-homotopic. Non-Haken and non-Seifert fibered examples are constructed by performing Dehn surgery on a class of two-bridge knots.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-01-30T05:48:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "injective handlebodies", "two-bridge knots", "solvable word problem", "fundamental group", "non-seifert fibered examples" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......1719C" } } }
