Fundamental groups for torus link complements
read the original abstract
For an arbitrary positive integer $n$ and a pair $(p, q)$ of coprime integers, consider $n$ copies of a torus $(p,q)$ knot placed parallel to each other on the surface of the corresponding auxiliary torus: we call this assembly a torus $n$-link. We compute economical presentations of knot groups for torus links using the groupoid version of the Seifert--van Kampen theorem. Moreover, the result for an individual torus $n$-link is generalized to the case of multiple "nested" torus links, where we inductively include a torus link in the interior (or the exterior) of the auxiliary torus corresponding to the previous link. The results presented here have been useful in the physics context of classifying moduli space geometries of four-dimensional ${\mathcal N}=2$ superconformal field theories.
