Abstract: Given any knot k, there exists a hyperbolic knot tilde k with arbitrarily large volume such that the knot group pi k is a quotient of pi tilde k by a map that sends meridian to meridian and longitude to longitude. The knot tilde k can be chosen to be ribbon concordant to k and also to have the same Alexander invariant as k.

Review text

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 \(k\).
