Research Abstract

For the set of prime knots with up to 11-crossings, we determined the partial order relation defined by using meridian preserving epimorphisms between knots groups. We also proved that for any given 2-bridge knot there exists a Montesinos knot with an epimorphims which is induced by a degree zero map. Further we found pairs of a 3-bridge hyperbolic Montsinos knot and a 2-bridge hyperbolic knot which is not induced from a nonzero degree map. For any knot, there exists a infinitely many prime numbers such that there exists a non abelian representation on its knot group in 2-dimensional special linear group over a finite prime field with such a characteristic.
