Surgeries on one component of the Whitehead link are virtually fibered (Q5957467): Difference between revisions

Let \(M\) be a compact orientable \(3\)-manifold with boundary consisting of a (possibly empty) union of tori. \(M\) is said to be fibered if it can be given the structure of a surface bundle over the circle. If \(M\) is finitely covered by a fibered manifold, then \(M\) is said to be virtually fibered. In this paper the author shows that every Dehn filling on one component of the boundary of the exterior of the Whitehead link is virtually fibered. As an application, the author produces examples of nonfibered virtually fibered hyperbolic knot exteriors in \(S^3.\)
