Virtually Haken fillings of knot complements

Geometry/Topology

Speaker: Genevieve Walsh, University of Texas, Austin

We show that infinitely many fillings of any fibered knot complement are virtually Haken. Combined with a theorem of Cooper and Long, this proves that infinitely many fillings of any knot complement are virtually Haken. This is joint work with D. Cooper.
