On Crossing Number of Knots
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to endow a monoid structure on the set S of all oriented knots(links) under the operation ⊎ , called addition of knots. Moreover, we prove that there exists a homomorphism of monoids between (Sd, ⊎ ) to (N, +), where Sd is a subset of S with an extra condition and N is the monoid of non negative integers under usual addition.

Spiral Knots
Spiral knots are a generalization of torus knots we define by a certain periodic closed braid representation. For spiral knots with prime power period, we calculate their genus, bound their crossing number, and bound their m-alternating excess.
متن کاملHyperfinite knots via the CJKLS invariant in the thermodynamic limit
We set forth a definition of hyperfinite knots. Loosely speaking, these are limits of certain sequences of knots with increasing crossing number. These limits exist in appropriate closures of quotient spaces of knots. We give examples of hyperfinite knots. These examples stem from an application of the Thermodynamic Limit to the CJKLS invariant of knots.
متن کاملGauss Sums on Almost Positive Knots
Using the Fiedler-Polyak-Viro Gauß diagram formulas we study the Vassiliev invariants of degree 2 and 3 on almost positive knots. As a consequence we show that the number of almost positive knots of given genus or unknotting number grows polynomially in the crossing number, and also recover and extend, inter alia to their untwisted Whitehead doubles, previous results on the polynomials and sign...
متن کاملKNOTS OF GENUS ONE Or on the number of alternating knots of given genus
We prove that any non-hyperbolic genus one knot except the trefoil does not have a minimal canonical Seifert surface and that there are only polynomially many in the crossing number positive knots of given genus or given unknotting number.
متن کاملVolume Bounds for Weaving Knots
Weaving knots are alternating knots with the same projection as torus knots, and were conjectured by X.-S. Lin to be among the maximum volume knots for fixed crossing number. We provide the first asymptotically correct volume bounds for weaving knots, and we prove that the infinite weave is their geometric limit.
متن کاملTait’s Conjectures and Odd Crossing Number Amphicheiral Knots
We give a brief historical overview of the Tait conjectures, made 120 years ago in the course of his pioneering work in tabulating the simplest knots, and solved a century later using the Jones polynomial. We announce the solution, again based on a substantial study of the Jones polynomial, of one (possibly his last remaining?) problem of Tait, with the construction of amphicheiral knots of alm...
