Aug 6, 2012 at 4:31 | comment | added | Daniel Moskovich | Thanks for this! This is useful. I'm willing to restrict to knotted theta complements in $S^3$. Do you know whether one can write down, at least in this case, at least a necessary condition for "Σ is a boundary" (what the vanishing of the Pontryagin product says in the torus case) in terms of the basis for Σ inside pi_1 of the manifold? | |
