In this paper, we give a formula of the cusp shape of hyperbolic knots by using potential functions which appears in the study of the volume conjecture.

We determine the PSL2(ℂ) and SL2(ℂ) character varieties of the once-punctured torus bundles with tunnel number one, i.e. the once-punctured torus bundles that arise from filling one boundary component of the Whitehead link exterior. In particular, we determine "natural" models for these algebraic sets, identify them up to birational equivalence with smooth models, and compute the genera of the canonical components. This enables us to compare dilatations of the monodromies of these bundles with these genera. We also determine the minimal polynomials for the trace fields of these manifolds. Additionally, we study the action of the symmetries of these manifolds upon their character varieties, identify the characters of their lens space fillings, and compute the twisted Alexander polynomials for their representations to SL2(ℂ).

If we consider the set of manifolds that can be obtained by surgery on a fixed knotK, then we have an associated set of numbers corresponding to the Heegaard genus of these manifolds. It is known that there is an upper bound to this set of numbers. A knotKis said to have PropertyR+if longitudinal surgery yields a manifold of highest possible Heegaard genus among those obtainable by surgery onK. In this paper we show that torus knots,2-bridge knots, and knots which are the connected sum of arbitrarily many(2,m)-torus knots have PropertyR+It is shown that ifKis constructed from the tangles(B1,t1),(B2,t2),…,(Bn,tn)thenT(K)≤1+∑i=1nT(Bi,ti)whereT(K)is the tunnel ofKandT(Bi,ti)is the tunnel number of the tangle(Bi,ti). We show that there exist prime knots of arbitrarily high tunnel number that have PropertyR+and that manifolds of arbitrarily high Heegaard genus can be obtained by surgery on prime knots.
