Abstract: We show that a hyperbolic $3$-manifold can be the cyclic branched cover of at most fifteen knots in $mathbf{S}^3$. This is a consequence of a general result about finite groups of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms acting on $3$-manifolds. A similar, although weaker, result holds for arbitrary irreducible $3$-manifolds: an irreducible $3$-manifold can be the cyclic branched cover of odd prime order of at most six knots in $mathbf{S}^3$.
