Infinite Order Amphicheiral Knots
In 1977 Gordon [G] asked whether every class of order two in the classical knot concordance group can be represented by an amphicheiral knot. The question remains open although counterexamples in higher dimensions are now known to exist [CM]. This problem is more naturally stated in terms of negative amphicheiral knots, since such knots represent 2–torsion in concordance; that is, if K is negat...
متن کاملLissajous Knots and Knots with Lissajous Projections
Knots in R which may be parameterized by a single cosine function in each coordinate are called Lissajous knots. We show that twist knots are Lissajous knots if and only if their Arf invariants are zero. We further prove that all 2-bridge knots and all (3, q)-torus knots have Lissajous projections.
متن کاملOn iterated torus knots and transversal knots
A knot type is exchange reducible if an arbitrary closed n{braid representative K of K can be changed to a closed braid of minimum braid index nmin(K) by a nite sequence of braid isotopies, exchange moves and {destabilizations. (See Figure 1). In the manuscript [6] a transversal knot in the standard contact structure for S3 is de ned to be transversally simple if it is characterized up to trans...
متن کاملSubknots in ideal knots, random knots, and knotted proteins
We introduce disk matrices which encode the knotting of all subchains in circular knot configurations. The disk matrices allow us to dissect circular knots into their subknots, i.e. knot types formed by subchains of the global knot. The identification of subknots is based on the study of linear chains in which a knot type is associated to the chain by means of a spatially robust closure protoco...
متن کاملMolecular Knots
The first synthetic molecular trefoil knot was prepared in the late 1980s. However, it is only in the last few years that more complex small-molecule knot topologies have been realized through chemical synthesis. The steric restrictions imposed on molecular strands by knotting can impart significant physical and chemical properties, including chirality, strong and selective ion binding, and cat...
