| contents | We explicitly construct a sequence of hyperbolic links $\{ L_{4n} \}$ where the number of symmetries of each $\mathbb{S}^{3} \setminus L_{4n}$ that are not induced by symmetries of the pair $(\mathbb{S}^{3}, L_{4n})$ grows linearly with n. Specifically, $[Sym(\mathbb{S}^{3} \setminus L_{4n}) : Sym(\mathbb{S}^{3}, L_{4n})] =8n \rightarrow \infty$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$. For this construction, we start with a family of minimally twisted chain links, $\{ C_{4n} \}$, where $Sym(\mathbb{S}^{3}, C_{4n})$ and $Sym(\mathbb{S}^{3} \setminus C_{4n})$ coincide and grow linearly with $n$. We then perform a particular type of homeomorphism on $\mathbb{S}^{3} \setminus C_{4n}$ to produce another link complement $\mathbb{S}^{3} \setminus L_{4n}$ where we can uniformly bound $|Sym(\mathbb{S}^{3}, L_{4n})|$ using a combinatorial condition based on linking number. A more general result highlighting how to control symmetry groups of hyperbolic links is provided, which has potential for further application. |
