    Knots with distinct primitive/primitive and primitive/Seifert representatives

    Full text link
    Berge introduced knots that are primitive/primitive with respect to the genus 2 Heegaard surface, FF, in S3S^3; surgery on such knots at the surface slope yields a lens space. Later Dean described a similar class of knots that are primitive/Seifert with respect to FF; surgery on these knots at the surface slope yields a Seifert fibered space. Here we construct a two-parameter family of knots that have distinct primitive/Seifert embeddings in FF with the same surface slope, as well as a family of torus knots that have a primitive/primitive representative and a primitive/Seifert representative with the same surface slope.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures; 2 figures update
