Why are $S^3-K$ and $\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb R)/{\operatorname{SL}(2, \mathbb Z)}$ diffe...
Here is a sketch:
$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}\SL(2,\mathbb R)/{\SL(2,\mathbb Z)}$ can be identified with the space of lattices of covolume 1 in $\mathbb R^2$. Indeed, $\SL(2, \mathbb R)$ can be ident …

Exchanging the components of a two-component link
Given a 2-component link in $S^3$ whose components are trivial knots, is it always possible to find a homeomorphism of $S^3$ that exchanges the components?
I guess the answer is "no" (but I could not …

Genus one fibered links
It is well-known that the only genus one fibered knots are the trefoil and the figure-eight. On the other hand, there exist infinitely many fibered links for any fixed higher genus.
My question is ab …

Fibered knot with periodic homological monodromy
It is well-known that there exist pseudo-Anosov automorphisms of surfaces that act trivially on the homology: they form the Torelli group. Similarly there exists pseudo-Anosov automorphisms that act p …

Tying knots with reflecting lightrays
These knots seem to be called billiard knots in the literature. They coincide with Lissajous knots as shown by Jones and Przytycki in "Lissajous knots and billiard knots", Banach center Publications 4 …
