Extract

Let be an oriented knot in S3 and a solid torus endowed with a preferred framing which contains in its interior. By ρ and λ we denote the wrapping and winding numbers of in respectively. That is, they are the geometric and algebraic intersection numbers of and a meridian disk of . For an integer μ, let τμ be an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of satisfying τμ(m) = m and τμ(l) = l + μm in H1(∂), where (m, l) is a meridian-longitude pair of . We call τμ(), denoted by μ, the knot obtained from by μ-twisting along .
