Knots with equal bridge index and braid index
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we are interested in BB knots, namely knots and links whose bridge index braid equal. Supported by observations from experiments, it is conjectured that possess a special geometric/physical property (and might even be characterized it): if the knot realized (closed) springy metal wire, then equilibrium state of wire an almost planar configuration multiple (overlapping) circles. provide heuristic explanation to conjecture explore plausibility numerically. We also identify among various families. For example, able all family alternating Montesinos as well some non-alternating more generally Conway algebraic knots. The identified families considered include 182 one component with crossing number up 12. Furthermore, show given [Formula: see text] grows exponentially text].

Alternation Numbers of Torus Knots with Small Braid Index
We calculate the alternation number of torus knots with braid index 4 and less. For the lower bound, we use the Upsilon-invariant recently introduced by Ozsváth, Stipsicz, and Szabó. For the upper bound, we use a known bound for braid index 3 and a new bound for braid index 4. Both bounds coincide, so that we obtain a sharp result.
متن کاملKnots with Braid Index Three Have Property-p
We prove that knots with braid index three in the 3-sphere satisfy the Property P conjecture.
متن کاملThe vertex PI index and Szeged index of bridge graphs
Recently the vertex Padmakar–Ivan (PI v) index of a graph G was introduced as the sum over all edges e = uv of G of the number of vertices which are not equidistant to the vertices u and v. In this paper the vertex PI index and Szeged index of bridge graphs are determined. Using these formulas, the vertex PI indices and Szeged indices of several graphs are computed.
متن کاملThe Braid Index of Reduced Alternating Braids
It is well known that any link can be represented by the closure of a braid. The minimum number of strands needed in a braid whose closure represents a given link is called the braid index of the link. One of the authors had conjectured that if a link has a reduced alternating diagram which is also the closure of a braid on n strands, then the braid index of the link is exactly n. In this paper...
متن کاملBraid Order, Sets, and Knots
We survey two of the many aspects of the standard braid order, namely its set theoretical roots, and the known connections with knot theory, including results by Netsvetaev, Malyutin, and Ito, and very recent work in progress by Fromentin and Gebhardt. It has been known since 1992 [7, 8] that Artin’s braid groups Bn are leftorderable, by an ordering that has several remarkable properties. In pa...
