Knots with many minimal genus Seifert surfaces
Abstract
Roberts proved that a family of alternating, arborescent, prime knots each have at least 22n-1 distinct minimal genus Seifert surfaces, where n is the genus of the knot in question. We give a subfamily of these knots that have exactly this many minimal genus Seifert surfaces.
