Fundamentally Different m-Colorings of Pretzel Knots
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the number of fundamentally different m-colorings of a knot K depends only on the m-nullity of K, and develop a formula for the number of such colorings. We also determine the m-colorability and m-nullity of any (p, q, r) pretzel knot, and therefore determine the number of fundamentally different m-colorings for any (p, q, r)

Knot Floer Homology of (1, 1)-knots
We present a combinatorial method for a calculation of knot Floer homology with Z-coefficient of (1, 1)-knots, and then demonstrate it for non-alternating (1, 1)-knots with ten crossings and the pretzel knots of type (−2, m, n). Our calculations determine the unknotting numbers and 4-genera of the pretzel knots of this type.
متن کاملKHOVANOV HOMOLOGY AND RASMUSSEN’S s-INVARIANTS FOR PRETZEL KNOTS
We calculated the rational Khovanov homology of some class of pretzel knots, by using the spectral sequence constructed by P. Turner. Moreover, we determined the Rasmussen’s s-invariant of almost of pretzel knots with three pretzels.
متن کاملp-Colorings of Weaving Knots
We explore the p-colorability of a family of knots known as weaving knots. First, we show some general results pertaining to p-coloring any (m, n) weaving knot. We then determine the p-colorability of any (m, 3) weaving knot, and designate these p-colorings into two separate types, whose characteristics we begin to explore. We also partially classify some of the p-colorings for any (m, n) weavi...
متن کاملSome Invariants of Pretzel Links
Abstract. We show that nontrivial classical pretzel knots L(p, q, r) are hyperbolic with eight exceptions which are torus knots. We find Conway polynomials of npretzel links using a new computation tree. As applications, we compute the genera of n-pretzel links using these polynomials and find the basket number of pretzel links by showing that the genus and the canonical genus of a pretzel link...
متن کاملCyclic and Finite Surgeries on Pretzel Knots
We classify Dehn surgeries on (p, q, r) pretzel knots resulting in a manifold M(α) having cyclic fundamental group and analyze those leading to a finite fundamental group. The proof uses the theory of cyclic and finite surgeries developed by Culler, Shalen, Boyer, and Zhang. In particular, CullerShalen seminorms play a central role.
