چکیده
In this paper we introduce a Jones-type invariant for singular knots, using a Markov trace on the Yokonuma–Hecke algebras Yd,n(u) and the theory of singular braids. The Yokonuma–Hecke algebras have a natural topological interpretation in the context of framed knots. Yet, we show that there is a homomorphism of the singular braid monoid SBn into the algebra Yd,n(u). Surprisingly, the trace does not normalize directly to yield a singular link invariant, so a condition must be imposed on the trace variables. Assuming this condition, the invariant satisfies a skein relation involving singular crossings, which arises from a quadratic relation in the algebra Yd,n(u).

Mutant knots, in the sense of Conway, are known to share the same Homfly polynomial. Their 2-string satellites also share the same Homfly polynomial, but in general their m-string satellites can have different Homfly polynomials for m > 2. We show that, under conditions of extra symmetry on the constituent 2-tangles, the directed m-string satellites of mutants share the same Homfly polynomial f...

We show that the Conway polynomials of Fibonacci links are Fibonacci polynomials modulo 2. We deduce that, when n 6≡ 0 (mod 4) and (n, j) 6= (3, 3), the Fibonacci knot F (n) j is not a Lissajous knot. keywords: Fibonacci polynomials, Fibonacci knots, continued fractions

The inclusion of the space of all knots of a prescribed writhe in a particular isotopy class into the space of all knots in that isotopy class is a weak homotopy equivalence.

We show that under some natural ergodicity assumptions extensions given by Rokhlin cocycles lift the multiplier property if the associated locally compact group extension has only countably many L ∞-eigenvalues. We make use of some analogs of basic results from the theory of finite-rank modules associated to an extension of measure-preserving systems in the setting of a non-singular base.
