On iterated torus knots and transversal knots
A knot type is exchange reducible if an arbitrary closed n{braid representative K of K can be changed to a closed braid of minimum braid index nmin(K) by a nite sequence of braid isotopies, exchange moves and {destabilizations. (See Figure 1). In the manuscript [6] a transversal knot in the standard contact structure for S3 is de ned to be transversally simple if it is characterized up to trans...
متن کاملAn addendum on iterated torus knots
In Theorem 1.2 of the paper [M1] the author claimed to have proved that all transversal knots whose topological knot type is that of an iterated torus knot (we call them cable knots) are transversally simple. That theorem is false, and the Erratum [M2] identifies the gap. The purpose of this paper is to explore the situation more deeply, in order to pinpoint exactly which cable knots are not tr...
متن کاملHomological thickness of torus knots
In this paper we show that the torus knots Tp,q for 3 ≤ p ≤ q are homologically thick. Even more, we show that we can reduce the number of twists q without changing certain part of homology, and consequently we show that there exists stable homology for torus knots conjectured in [4]. Also, we calculate Khovanov homology groups of low homological degree for torus knots, and we conjecture that t...
متن کاملVolume Bounds for Generalized Twisted Torus Links
Twisted torus knots and links are given by twisting adjacent strands of a torus link. They are geometrically simple and contain many examples of the smallest volume hyperbolic knots. Many are also Lorenz links. We study the geometry of twisted torus links and related generalizations. We determine upper bounds on their hyperbolic volumes that depend only on the number of strands being twisted. W...
متن کاملProof of the volume conjecture for Whitehead doubles of a family of torus knots
A technique to calculate the colored Jones polynomials of satellite knots, illustrated by the Whitehead doubles of knots, is presented. Then we prove the volume conjecture for Whitehead doubles of a family of torus knots and show some interesting observations.
