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.

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 …

1-Bridge Braids in Solid Tori (Berge-Gabai knots), dual knots, & knot exteriors

For Question #1: As you acknowledge, Berge already gives an answer to Question #1. Using his notation, this is summarized in Table 2 of his paper "The knots in $D^2 \times S^1$ which have nontrivial …

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 …

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 …
