Cappell-Shaneson knot pairs with the same Alexander polynomial
Published 1 Apr 2026 in math.GT, math.AT, and math.NT | (2604.01045v1)
Abstract: It is well known that for there are at most two non-equivalent -knots with diffeomorphic exterior. Such pair of knots will be called . A classical problem in topology is to determine all dimensions where such knot pairs exist. In 1976 Cappell and Shaneson gave a method of constructing non-reflexive knot pairs. In the present paper we construct an infinite family of new examples of Cappell-Shaneson knot pairs, and give examples of Cappell-Shaneson knot pairs that have the same Alexander polynomial but are inequivalent.
