Knot exteriors from solid-torus neighbourhoods #
The exterior of a framed knot is the complement of the open solid torus in a solid-torus neighbourhood. This file gives that complement a named carrier and records the compactness and boundary facts needed by Dehn filling.
It also makes the exterior a topological manifold with boundary when the ambient space is a
Hausdorff topological 3-manifold. A solid torus neighbourhood Φ alone does not suffice for
this, since nothing controls the ambient space just outside the image of Φ. Shrinking the solid
torus to half its radius, Φ ∘ SolidTorus.halve, leaves room on both sides of the new boundary
torus: the annuli {w | 0 < ‖w‖ < 1} of Φ give it a bicollar
(TauCeti.IsSolidTorusNeighborhood.isBicollared_comp_halve_comp_boundaryInclusion), with the
radius ‖w‖ = σ(t) read through the logistic sigmoid σ. The exterior of the shrunken
neighbourhood is the outer side of this bicollar, so TauCeti.IsBicollar.sideChartedSpace charts
it on the half-space EuclideanHalfSpace 3, with manifold boundary the torus
(TauCeti.IsSolidTorusNeighborhood.boundary_exteriorChartedSpace). This file constructs the
topological charted-space structure.

The definition and its elementary topological properties follow Rolfsen, Knots and Links, Sections 2E and 9F.
The closed exterior of a solid-torus neighbourhood: the complement of its open solid-torus image.
Instances For
Membership in the exterior means that a point is outside the open solid-torus image.
The exterior of a solid torus neighbourhood, with its boundary torus removed, is the complement of the closed solid torus.
The exterior is closed in any ambient topological space.
In a compact ambient space, the knot exterior is compact.
The framed boundary torus is the frontier of the knot exterior.
The boundary torus of a solid torus neighbourhood lies in the knot exterior.
The boundary torus of the knot exterior, parametrized by S¹ × S¹ through the solid torus
neighbourhood: q ↦ Φ (q.1, q.2).
Instances For
The parametrized boundary torus of the exterior is q ↦ Φ (q.1, q.2).
The parametrization of the boundary torus of the exterior is injective.
The parametrization of the boundary torus of the exterior is an embedding.
The open exterior of a solid torus neighbourhood Φ in a Hausdorff space: the complement
of the closed solid torus range Φ, which is the knot exterior with its boundary torus removed
(TauCeti.knotExterior_sdiff_range). In a 3-manifold it is the manifold interior of the
exterior.
Instances For
The open exterior lies in the knot exterior.
The half-radius solid torus #
The solid torus of half the radius inside the solid torus: (w, z) ↦ (w / 2, z).
Instances For
Halving the radius is an embedding of the solid torus into itself.
A solid torus neighbourhood restricts to an open embedding on every open subset of the open solid torus.
The solid torus of half the radius is again a solid torus neighbourhood of the knot.
The bicollar of the boundary torus of the half-radius solid torus inside a solid torus
neighbourhood Φ: ((u, z), t) ↦ Φ (σ(t) u, z), where σ is the logistic sigmoid. It meets
the exterior of the half-radius solid torus exactly in its nonnegative half
(TauCeti.IsSolidTorusNeighborhood.preimage_halveBicollar_knotExterior).
Instances For
The bicollar of the half-radius boundary torus stays inside the solid torus.
TauCeti.halveBicollar Φ is a bicollar of the boundary torus of the half-radius solid torus
inside a solid torus neighbourhood Φ.
The boundary torus of the half-radius solid torus inside a solid torus neighbourhood is bicollared.
The bicollar TauCeti.halveBicollar Φ meets the exterior of the half-radius solid torus
exactly in its nonnegative half.
The exterior of the half-radius solid torus inside a solid torus neighbourhood, in a Hausdorff
topological 3-manifold, as a topological manifold with boundary: it is the outer side of the
bicollar of its boundary torus, charted by TauCeti.IsBicollar.sideChartedSpace. Its manifold
boundary is the boundary torus (TauCeti.IsSolidTorusNeighborhood.boundary_exteriorChartedSpace).
Instances For
The manifold boundary of the exterior of the half-radius solid torus is its boundary torus.
The manifold interior of the exterior of the half-radius solid torus is the complement of the closed solid torus.
