The groups of branched twist-spun knots
Abstract
We characterize the groups of branched twist spins of classical knots in terms of 3-manifold groups, and also give a purely algebraic, conjectural characterization in terms of PD3-groups. We show also that each group is the group of at most finitely many branched twist spins.
