Some non-trivial PL knots whose complements are homotopy circles

Greg Friedman (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that there exist non-trivial piecewise linear (PL) knots with isolated singularities S n - 2 S , n ≥ 5, whose complements have the homotopy type of a circle. This is in contrast to the case of smooth, PL locally flat, and topological locally flat knots, for which it is known that if the complement has the homotopy type of a circle, then the knot is trivial.

On slice knots in the complex projective plane.

Similarity:

We investigate the knots in the boundary of the punctured complex projective plane. Our result gives an affirmative answer to a question raised by Suzuki. As an application, we answer to a question by Mathieu.
