Spherical structures on torus knots and links
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present paper considers two infinite families of cone-manifolds endowed with spherical metric. The singular strata is either the torus knot t(2n + 1, 2) or the torus link t(2n, 2). Domains of existence for a spherical metric are found in terms of cone angles and volume formulæ are presented.

Volume 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 کاملA Topological Characterization of Knots and Links Arising from Site-specific Recombination
We develop a topological model of knots and links arising from a single (or multiple processive) round(s) of recombination starting with an unknot, unlink, or (2, m)torus knot or link substrate. We show that all knotted or linked products fall into a single family, and prove that the size of this family grows linearly with the cube of the minimum number of crossings. Additionally, we prove that...
متن کاملKnots cascade detected by a monotonically decreasing sequence of values
Due to reconnection or recombination of neighboring strands superfluid vortex knots and DNA plasmid torus knots and links are found to undergo an almost identical cascade process, that tend to reduce topological complexity by stepwise unlinking. Here, by using the HOMFLYPT polynomial recently introduced for fluid knots, we prove that under the assumption that topological complexity decreases by...
