The C-polynomial of a knot
نویسنده
چکیده
We derive, from the A-polynomial of a knot, a single variable polynomial for the knot, called C-polynomial, and explore topological and geometrical information about the knot encoded in the C-polynomial. 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. MSC: 57N10; 57M25; 57M27; 57M40

gH-differentiable of the 2th-order functions interpolating
Fuzzy Hermite interpolation of 5th degree generalizes Lagrange interpolation by fitting a polynomial to a function f that not only interpolates f at each knot but also interpolates two number of consecutive Generalized Hukuhara derivatives of f at each knot. The provided solution for the 5th degree fuzzy Hermite interpolation problem in this paper is based on cardinal basis functions linear com...
متن کاملMETABELIAN SL(n,C) REPRESENTATIONS OF KNOT GROUPS
We give a classification of irreducible metabelian representations from a knot group into SL(n,C) and GL(n,C). If the homology of the n–fold branched cover of the knot is finite, we show that every irreducible metabelian SL(n,C) representation is conjugate to a unitary representation and that the set of conjugacy classes of such representations is finite. In that case, we give a formula for thi...
متن کاملLimit Values of the Non-acyclic Reidemeister Torsion for Knots
We consider the Reidemeister torsion associated with SL2(C)representations of a knot group. A bifurcation point in the SL2(C)-character variety of a knot group is a character which is given by both an abelian SL2(C)representation and a non-abelian one. We show that there exist limits of the non-acyclic Reidemeister torsion at bifurcation points and the limits are expressed by using the derivati...
متن کاملChebyshev diagrams for rational knots
We show that every rational knot K of crossing number N admits a polynomial parametrization x = Ta(t), y = Tb(t), z = C(t) where Tk(t) are the Chebyshev polynomials, a = 3 and b + degC = 3N. We show that every rational knot also admits a polynomial parametrization with a = 4. If C(t) = Tc(t) is a Chebyshev polynomial, we call such a knot a harmonic knot. We give the classification of harmonic k...
متن کاملLog-concavity and Zeros of the Alexander Polynomial
We show that roots of log-concave Alexander knot polynomials are dense in C. This in particular implies that the log-concavity and Hoste’s conjecture on the Alexander polynomial of alternating knots are (essentially) independent.
