Small knot complements, exceptional surgeries and hidden symmetries

Neil R Hoffman

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 14 (2014) 3227–3258
Abstract

This paper provides two obstructions to small knot complements in S3 admitting hidden symmetries. The first obstruction is being cyclically commensurable with another knot complement. This result provides a partial answer to a conjecture of Boileau, Boyer, Cebanu and Walsh. We also provide a second obstruction to admitting hidden symmetries in the case where a small knot complement covers a manifold admitting some symmetry and at least two exceptional surgeries.
