Cyclic branched coverings over some classes of \((1,1)\)-knots (Q2260762)

Summary: We construct a 4-parametric family of combinatorial closed 3-manifolds, obtained by glueing together in pairs the boundary faces of polyhedral 3-balls. Then, we obtain geometric presentations of the fundamental groups of these manifolds and determine the corresponding split extension groups. Finally, we prove that the considered manifolds are cyclic coverings of the 3-sphere branched over well-specified \((1,1)\)-knots, including torus knots and Montesinos knots.
