A ug 2 00 3 DISTANCE AND BRIDGE POSITION
نویسنده
چکیده
J. Hempel’s definition of the distance of a Heegaard surface generalizes to a complexity for a knot which is in bridge position with respect to a Heegaard surface. Our main result is that the distance of a knot in bridge position is bounded above by twice the genus, plus the number of boundary components, of an essential surface in the knot complement. As a consequence knots constructed via sufficiently high powers of pseudo-Anosov maps have minimal bridge presentations which are thin.

Analysis of Flow Pattern with Low Reynolds Number around Different Shapes of Bridge Piers, and Determination of Hydrodynamic Forces, using Open Foam Software
In many cases, a set of obstacles, such as bridge piers and abutments, are located in the river waterway. Bridge piers disrupt river’s normal flow, and the created turbulence and disturbance causes diversion of flow lines and creates rotational flow. Geometric shape and position of the piers with respect to flow direction and also number of piers and their spacing are effective on changing the ...

The title compound, [Co(2)(O(2))(CH(3)CN)(2)(C(2)H(8)N(2))(4)](ClO(4))(4), consists of centrosymmetric binuclear cations and perchlorate anions. Two Co(III) atoms, which have a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination, are connected through a peroxido bridge; the O-O distance is 1.476 (3) Å. Both acetonitrile ligands are situated in a trans position with respect to the O-O bridge. In the cry...
متن کاملStudy of Streamlines under the Influence of Displacement of Submerged Vanes in Channel Width, and at the Upstream Area of a Cylindrical Bridge Pier in a 180 Degree Sharp Bend
In this paper, submerged vanes were placed at the upstream area of a bridge pier located at the 90 degree angle. Then, using the laboratory equipment, a study of flow pattern was conducted throughout the bend, specifically around the pier and submerged vanes. ADV velocimeter was incorporated in order to help measure 3D velocity components. Submerged vanes were installed at distances of 40 and 6...
متن کامل00 8 Tunnel Leveling , Depth , and Bridge Numbers
We use the theory of tunnel number 1 knots introduced in [5] to strengthen the Tunnel Leveling Theorem of Goda, Scharlemann, and Thompson. This yields considerable information about bridge numbers of tunnel number 1 knots. In particular, we calculate the minimum bridge number of a knot as a function of the maximum depth invariant d of its tunnels. The growth of this value is on the order of (1 ...
متن کاملMultiple Bridge Surfaces Restrict Knot Distance
Suppose M is a closed irreducible orientable 3-manifold, K is a knot in M , P and Q are bridge surfaces for K and K is not removable with respect to Q. We show that either Q is equivalent to P or d(K,P ) ≤ 2 − χ(Q − K). If K is not a 2-bridge knot, then the result holds even if K is removable with respect to Q. As a corollary we show that if a knot in S has high distance with respect to some br...
