Determinant density and biperiodic alternating links
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let L be any infinite biperiodic alternating link. We show that for any sequence of finite links that Følner converges almost everywhere to L, their determinant densities converge to the Mahler measure of the 2–variable characteristic polynomial of the toroidal dimer model on an associated biperiodic graph.

S ep 2 00 9 From Goeritz matrices toquasi - alternating links
Knot Theory is currently a very broad field. Even a long survey can only cover a narrow area. Here we concentrate on the path from Goeritz matrices to quasi-alternating links. On the way, we often stray from the main road and tell related stories, especially if they allow as to place the main topic in a historical context. For example, we mention that the Goeritz matrix was preceded by the Kirc...
متن کاملStochastic biperiodic oscillations in the electroreceptors of paddlefish.
We report that the electroreceptors in paddlefish possess the novel property of being biperiodic, that is, being composed of two intrinsic self-sustained noisy oscillators, one residing in the hair cells, and another in the terminals of primary afferent neurons. The two oscillators are coupled unidirectionally. Thus the receptor system as a whole undergoes stochastic biperiodic oscillations. We...
متن کاملOn the spectral norms of r-circulant matrices with the biperiodic Fibonacci and Lucas numbers
In this paper, we present new upper and lower bounds for the spectral norms of the r-circulant matrices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] whose entries are the biperiodic Fibonacci and biperiodic Lucas numbers, respectively. Finally, we obtain lower and upper bounds for the spectral norms of Kronecker and Hadamard products of Q and L matrices.
متن کاملQuasi-alternating Links and Odd Homology: Computations and Conjectures
We present computational results about quasi-alternating knots and links and odd homology obtained by looking at link families in the Conway notation. More precisely, we list quasi-alternating links up to 12 crossings and the first examples of quasi-alternating knots and links with at least two different minimal diagrams, where one is quasi-alternating and the other is not. We provide examples ...
متن کاملAlternating Knot Diagrams, Euler Circuits and the Interlace Polynomial
We show that two classical theorems in graph theory and a simple result concerning the interlace polynomial imply that if K is a reduced alternating link diagram with n ≥ 2 crossings then the determinant of K is at least n. This gives a particularly simple proof of the fact that reduced alternating links are nontrivial. Tait’s conjectures concerning alternating knot diagrams remained open for o...
