On Knots with Trivial Alexander Polynomial
We use the 2-loop term of the Kontsevich integral to show that there are (many) knots with trivial Alexander polynomial which don’t have a Seifert surface whose genus equals the rank of the Seifert form. This is one of the first applications of the Kontsevich integral to intrinsically 3-dimensional questions in topology. Our examples contradict a lemma of Mike Freedman, and we explain what went...
متن کاملThe Alexander polynomial of (1, 1)-knots
In this paper we investigate the Alexander polynomial of (1, 1)knots, which are knots lying in a 3-manifold with genus one at most, admitting a particular decomposition. More precisely, we study the connections between the Alexander polynomial and a polynomial associated to a cyclic presentation of the fundamental group of an n-fold strongly-cyclic covering branched over the knot, which we call...
متن کاملOn a Generalization of Alexander Polynomial for Long Virtual Knots
We construct new invariant polynomial for long virtual knots. It is a generalization of Alexander polynomial. We designate it by ζ meaning an analogy with ζ-polynomial for virtual links. A degree of ζ-polynomial estimates a virtual crossing number. We describe some application of ζpolynomial for the study of minimal long virtual diagrams with respect number of virtual crossings. Virtual knot th...
متن کاملOn the twisted Alexander polynomial and the A-polynomial of 2-bridge knots
We show that the A-polynomial A(L,M) of a 2-bridge knot b(p, q) is irreducible if p is prime, and if (p − 1)/2 is also prime and q , 1 then the L-degree of A(L,M) is (p−1)/2. This shows that the AJ conjecture relating the A-polynomial and the colored Jones polynomial holds true for these knots, according to work of the second author. We also study relationships between the A-polynomial of a 2-b...
متن کاملAlexander Polynomial, Finite Type Invariants and Volume of Hyperbolic Knots
We show that given n > 0, there exists a hyperbolic knot K with trivial Alexander polynomial, trivial finite type invariants of orders ≤ n and such that the volume of the complement of K is larger than n. We compare our result with known results about the relation of hyperbolic volume and Alexander polynomials of alternating knots. We also discuss how our result compares with relations between ...
