Abstract

We construct topological triangulations for complements of $(- 2, 3, n)$ –pretzel knots and links with $n \geq 7$ . Following a procedure outlined by Futer and Guéritaud, we use a theorem of Casson and Rivin to prove the constructed triangulations are geometric. Futer, Kalfagianni and Purcell have shown (indirectly) that such braids are hyperbolic. The new result here is a direct proof.
