The earring tangle consists of four strands 4pt x [0,1] inside S^2 x [0,1] and one meridian around one of the strands. Equipping this tangle with a nontrivial SO(3) bundle, we show that its traceless SU(2) flat moduli space is topologically a smooth genus three surface. We also show that the restriction map from this surface to the traceless flat m...

... second Stiefel-Whitney class and w2-arcs. Given a tangle (Y, L) and a point p ∈ L, an earring is a meridian E around the point p, together with an arc W connecting p and L. Figure 5 illustrates the trefoil knot with an earring placed on it. In [KM11a], the earring determines a nontrivial SO(3) bundle on which the gauge theory takes place. ...
