Small knots in Seifert fibered 3-manifolds.
Families of codimension-one foliations and laminations are constructed in certain 3-manifolds, with the property that their transverse intersection with the boundary torus of the manifold consists of parallel curves whose slope varies continuously with certain parameters in the construction. The 3-manifolds are 2-bridge knot complements and punctured-torus bundles.
In this note we construct examples of geometric 3-orbifolds with (orbifold) fundamental group isomorphic to a (Z-extension of a) generalized Coxeter group. Some of these orbifolds have either euclidean, spherical or hyperbolic structure. As an application, we obtain an alternative proof of theorem 1 of Hagelberg, Maclaughlan and Rosenberg in [5]. We also obtain a similar result for generalized Coxeter groups.
