$N$-dimensional beaded necklaces and higher dimensional wild knots, invariant by a Schottky group

Abstract

Starting with a smooth, non-trivial $n$-dimensional knot $K\subset\bS^{n+2}$, and a beaded $n$-dimensional necklace subordinated to $K$, we construct a wild knot with a Cantor set of wild points (\ie the knot is not locally flat in these points). The construction uses the conformal Schottky group acting on $\bS^{n+2}$, generated by inversions on the spheres which are the boundary of the ``beads''. We show that if $K$ is a fibered knot, then the wild knot is also fibered. We also study cyclic branched coverings along the wild knots. This work generalizes the result presented in [8].
