There have been few published results concerning the relationship between the homology groups of branched and unbranched covering spaces of knots, despite the fact that these invariants are such powerful invariants for distinguishing knot types and have long been recognised as such [8]. It is well known that a simple relationship exists between these homology groups for cyclic covering spaces (see Example 3 in § 3), however for more complicated covering spaces, little has previously been known about the homology group, H1(M) of the branched covering space or about H1(U), U being the corresponding unbranched covering space, or about the relationship between these two groups.

Suciu constructed infinitely many ribbon 2-knots in [Formula: see text] whose knot groups are isomorphic to the trefoil knot group. They are distinguished by the second homotopy groups. We classify these knots by using [Formula: see text]-representations of the fundamental groups of the 2-fold branched covering spaces.
