The Beta Function of a Knot
نویسنده
چکیده
In this note we study a metric invariant of a knot K embedded in R 3. This metric invariant depends on a complex parameter s. It is defined as a double integral using the parameterization x → γ(x) of K by the arc-length parameter x: B K (s) = K×K ||γ(x) − γ(y)|| s dxdy (1) where dx, dy denote the arc-lengths on the two copies of K. Clearly the function (x, y) → ||γ(x) − γ(y)|| s is continuous for Re(s) > 0, so that the integral converges in that domain. One main result is Theorem 0.1. For a smooth knot K, the function s → B K (s) extends analytically to a meromorphic function on C, with only possible poles at −1, −3, −5 · · ·. The residue at −2j − 1 is of the form K P j (κ, τ)dx, where P j is an explicitly computable polynomial in the curvature κ, the torsion τ and their derivatives.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neurotrophic factor that is functional in the survival, maintenance and differentiation of nervous system cells. This protein has three subunits, of which the beta subunit has the main activity. Its structure consists of a cysteine knot motif made up of beta strands linked by disulfide bonds. It can be used as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of many diseases....

Root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., are one of the important plant parasitic nematodes of tomato in the world. The most suitable control method of plant parasitic nematodes is the use of resistance sources and tolerant cultivars. In the earlier studies, the results showed thatonly 2% (19 out of 537 varieties) were resistant and tolerant to the root knot nematodes. In the supplementary studie...

An obstructed inguinal hernia is a common surgical emergency, which presents with a variety of contents like the small intestine, omentum, and colon. Intestinal knotting is a rare entity encountered in surgical practice; it occurs when one coil of intestine wraps around the other and eventually leads to complications such as intestinal obstruction, ischemia, and gangrene. Both conditions are co...

Previous studies have shown that nicotine can affect beta cell function and insulin secretion in cigarette smokers. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effect of 10 weeks aerobic exercise on insulin and beta cell function in smokers. In this semi-experimental study with pre and post-training design, a total of 36 adult smoker men aged 41±2.5 years were selected into either exerc...
