Abstract

Scharlemann and Thompson introduced an invariant $\rho(K,\gamma)\in \mathbb{Q}/2\mathbb{Z}$ for the pair of a knot $K$ in the 3-sphere and an unknotting tunnel $\gamma$ for $K$. The paper studies the relationship between the invariant $\rho(K,\gamma)$ of a (1,1)-knot and the distance of its (1,1)-splitting introduced by the author.
