Joint Colloquium: Silver -- When knots don’t fiber

In this joint work with Susan Williams we consider the conjecture:
a knot is nonfibered if and only if its infinite cyclic cover has 
uncountably many finite covers. We prove it for a class of knots that 
includes all knots of genus 1. We also discuss two equivalent forms of
the conjecture, one involving twisted Alexander polynomials, the other 
a weak form of subgroup separability.
