Knot theory is dealing with embedding of curves in manifolds of dimension 3. A knot is a single circle embedded in the affine space of dimension 3 as a smooth curve not crossing itself. Many knot invariants are known and can be used to distinguish knots.

Relatively hyperbolic knot groups

The following theorem, which can be deduced from a combination theorem of Dahmani, is stated as Theorem 7.2.2 in our book 3-manifold groups . Theorem: Let $N$ be a compact, orientable, irreducible …

Finite two-relator groups and quotients of knot groups

Question 1: As mentioned in comments, presentations with the same number of generators and relations are called balanced. The triviality problem for balanced presentations appears to be a question of …

Fundamental group of the complement of a codimension two submanifold

As you suspect, in dimension 3 the answer to your first question should be "no". Indeed, if one deletes any collection of circles from $M$ then the complement is a 3-manifold with toroidal boundary. S …
