REALIZATIONS OF SEIFERT MATRICES BY HYPERBOLIC KNOTS
Abstract
Recently Kearton showed that any Seifert matrix of a knot is S-equivalent to the Seifert matrix of a prime knot. We show in this note that such a matrix is in fact S-equivalent to the Seifert matrix of a hyperbolic knot. This result follows from reinterpreting this problem in terms of Blanchfield pairings and by applying results of Kawauchi.
