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.

Homology torsion in the double branched cover of a tangle?

Yes. For example, start with the exterior of the Whitehead link and do p/q filling on one component where p is odd. This manifold has p torsion and is the double branched cover of a two strand tang …

integer surgeries on knots

Lens spaces of orders 58 and 83 may be obtained by integral surgeries on torus knot; see Moser's "Elementary surgeries on torus knots" which gives the classification up to homeomorphism. (Mind Moser's …

Genus one fibered links

Agol's comment works to give 3 component fibered links with genus 1 fiber, but we can dial it back a bit further. The connect sum of a Hopf band and its mirror is a 3-component link of unknots wit …
