متن کاملComputation and Visualization of Ideal Knot Shapes THÈSE
We investigate numerical simulations and visualizations of the problem of tying a knot in a piece of rope. The goal is to use the least possible rope of a fixed, prescribed radius to tie a particular knot, e.g. a trefoil, a figure eight, and so on. The ropelength of the knot, the ratio to be minimized, is its length divided by its radius. An overview of existing algorithms to minimize the ropel...
متن کاملA Symmetric Motion Picture of the Twist-Spun Trefoil
A 2-knot will be a 2-sphere embedded into R locally flatly. Although we cannot see a 2-knot directly with our eyes, there are several ways to visualize it. A motion picture is one of the ways. Roughly speaking, a motion picture is a CT scan (Computed Tomographic scan) of a 2-knot. It is a one-parameter family of slices of a 2-knot, that are 0or 1-dimensional objects in R. The n-twist-spun trefo...
متن کاملTopological Semimetals carrying Arbitrary Hopf Numbers: Hopf-Link, Solomon’s-Knot, Trefoil-Knot and Other Semimetals
We propose a new type of Hopf semimetals indexed by a pair of numbers (p, q), where the Hopf number is given by pq. The Fermi surface is given by the preimage of the Hopf map, which consists of loops nontrivially linked for a nonzero Hopf number. The Fermi surface forms a torus link, whose examples are the Hopf link indexed by (1, 1), the Solomon’s knot (2, 1), the double Hopf-link (2, 2) and t...
متن کاملTHE sl3 JONES POLYNOMIAL OF THE TREFOIL: A CASE STUDY OF q-HOLONOMIC SEQUENCES
The sl3 colored Jones polynomial of the trefoil knot is a q-holonomic sequence of two variables with natural origin, namely quantum topology. The paper presents an explicit set of generators for the annihilator ideal of this q-holonomic sequence as a case study. On the one hand, our results are new and useful to quantum topology: this is the first example of a rank 2 Lie algebra computation con...
