      For knots in \(S^ 3\) criteria for periodicity are obtained in terms of the homology groups of cyclic branched covers of \(S^ 3\) and the Alexander polynomial. Also the relationship between the genus of a periodic knot and the Alexander polynomial is studied. As an application it is shown that no eleven crossing knot has a period greater than 5.
