Standard situations for cyclic branched coverings of hyperbolic knots
The authors consider the question of when the \(n\)-fold cyclic cover of \(S^3\) branched over \(K\) is equivalent to the \(m\)-fold cyclic cover of \(S^3\) branched over \(K'\). They list some standard constructions where this can occur. Their main result is that if \(K\) has trivial orientation-preserving symmetry group and if \(K, K'\) are respectively \(2\pi/n\), \(2\pi/m\) hyperbolic then any equivalence of covers arises from one of the standard constructions. They note a topological characterization of \(2\pi/n\) hyperbolic knots which shows that nontrivial examples of equivalence of covers for hyperbolic knots with trivial symmetry group can occur only if \(n\leq 3\), and gives a clearly restricted range of examples when \(n=2,3\).
