Characterization of knot complements in the n-sphere

Vo-Thanh Liem, Gerard Venema (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Knot complements in the n-sphere are characterized. A connected open subset W of S n is homeomorphic with the complement of a locally flat (n-2)-sphere in S n , n ≥ 4, if and only if the first homology group of W is infinite cyclic, W has one end, and the homotopy groups of the end of W are isomorphic to those of S 1 in dimensions less than n/2. This result generalizes earlier theorems of Daverman, Liem, and Liem and Venema.
