The twisted torus knots and the primitive/Seifert knots both lie on a genus 2 Heegaard surface of $S^3$. In [5], J. Dean used the twisted torus knots to provide an abundance of examples of primitive/Seifert knots. Also he showed that not all twisted torus knots are primitive/Seifert knots. In this paper, we study the other inclusion. In other words, it shows that not all primitive/Seifert knots are twisted torus knot position. In fact, we give infinitely many primitive/Seifert knots that are not twisted torus knot position.

A generalized torsion element is an obstruction for a group to admit a bi-ordering. Only a few classes of hyperbolic knots are known to admit such an element in their knot groups. Among twisted torus knots, the known ones have their extra twists on two adjacent strands of torus knots. In this paper, we give several new families of hyperbolic twisted torus knots whose knot groups have generalized torsion. They have extra twists on arbitrarily large numbers of adjacent strands of torus knots.

In this paper, we classify all twisted torus knots which are middle/hyper doubly Seifert. By the definition of middle/hyper doubly Seifert knots, these knots admit Dehn surgery yielding either Seifert-fibered spaces or graph manifolds at a surface slope. We show that middle/hyper doubly Seifert twisted torus knots admit the latter, that is, non-Seifert-fibered graph manifolds whose decomposing pieces consist of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers.

In this paper, we classify all twisted torus knots which are doubly middle Seifert-fibered. Also we show that all of these knots possibly except a few admit Dehn surgery producing a non-Seifert-fibered graph manifold which consists of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers, glued together along their boundaries. This provides another infinite family of knots in $S^3$ admitting Dehn surgery yielding such manifolds as done in [5].

In [4] Miyazaki and Motegi constructed one family of knots in $S^3$ which admits Dehn surgery producing a Seifert-fibered space over $S^2$ with four exceptional fibers. On the other hand, in [3] using doubly hyper Seifert twisted torus knots, the author constructed six families of knots in $S^3$ which admit Dehn surgery yielding a Seifert-fibered space over $S^2$ with four exceptional fibers. It is questioned in [3] whether or not the family of the knots constructed in [4] belongs to one of the six families of the knots in [3]. In this paper, we give the positive answer for this question.

In this paper, we construct infinite families of knots in $S^3$ which admit Dehn surgery producing a Seifert-fibered space over $S^2$ with four exceptional fibers. Also we show that these knots are turned out to be satellite knots, which supports the conjecture that no hyperbolic knot in $S^3$ admits a Seifert-fibered space over $S^2$ with four exceptional fibers as Dehn surgery.

In this paper, we construct infinite families of knots in $S^3$ which admit Dehn surgery producing a graph manifold which consists of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers, glued together along their boundaries. In particular, we show that for any natural numbers a, b, c, and d with $a{\geq}3$ and $b,c,d{\geq}2$, there are knots in $S^3$ admitting a graph manifold Dehn surgery consisting of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers of indexes a, b, and c, d, respectively.
