Correction to “Open books and configurations of symplectic surfaces”.
In this paper we study the connections between cyclic presentations of groups and the fundamental group of cyclic branched coverings of 2-bridge knots. Then we show that the topology of these manifolds (and knots) arises, in a natural way, from the algebraic properties of such presentations.
In this paper we give a brief survey of the present state of knowledge on exceptional Dehn fillings on 3-manifolds with torus boundary. For our discussion, it is necessary to first give a quick overview of what is presently known, and what is conjectured, about the structure of 3-manifolds. This is done in Section 2. In Section 3 we summarize the known bounds on the distances between various kinds of exceptional Dehn fillings, and compare these with the distances that arise in known examples. In...
