Abstract
We construct an infinite family of 3-manifolds and show that these
manifolds have cyclically presented fundamental groups
and are cyclic branched coverings of the 3-sphere branched over the 2-bridge knots
(ℓ+1)2 or (ℓ+1)1, that are the closure
of the rational (2ℓ−1)/(ℓ−1)-tangles or
(2ℓ−1)/ℓ-tangles, respectively.
