Knot Group Epimorphisms
Daniel S. Silver, Wilbur Whitten
Abstract
Any knot group is the image of the group of a prime knot by a homomorphism that preserves peripheral structure. In fact, there are infinitely many such prime knots. A related partial order on knots is defined, and its properties are discussed.
