Hyperbolic covering knots (Q2571391)

The authors have recently shown that given any knot \(k\), there are infinitely many prime knots \(k'\) whose groups admit (meridian, longitude)-preserving epimorphisms onto the group of \(k\) [J. Knot Theory Ramifications 15, No.2, 153-166 (2006; Zbl 1096.57007)]. In the paper under review this result is sharpened: the \(k'\) may be chosen to be hyperbolic knots of arbitrarily large volume, to be ribbon concordant to \(k\), and also to have the same Alexander invariant as \(k\).
