Knots without Cosmetic Crossings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let K′ be a knot that admits no cosmetic crossing changes and let C be a prime, non-cable knot. Then any knot that is a satellite of C with winding number zero and pattern K′ admits no cosmetic crossing changes. As a consequence we prove the nugatory crossing conjecture for Whitehead doubles of prime, non-cable knots.

Cosmetic Crossings of Twisted Knots
We prove that the property of admitting no cosmetic crossing changes is preserved under the operation of inserting full twists in the strings of closed braids and the operation of forming certain satellites of winding number zero. As a consequences of the main results, we prove the nugatory crossing conjecture for twisted fibered braids, for closed 3-braids and for Whitehead doubles of prime no...
متن کاملAssociation of multiple zeta values with positive knots via
It is found that the number, Mn, of irreducible multiple zeta values (MZVs) of weight n, is generated by 1 − x − x = ∏ n(1 − x )n. For 9 ≥ n ≥ 3, Mn enumerates positive knots with n crossings. Positive knots to which field theory assigns knot-numbers that are not MZVs first appear at 10 crossings. We identify all the positive knots, up to 15 crossings, that are in correspondence with irreducibl...
متن کاملDoes the Jones Polynomial Detect Unknottedness?
There were many attempts to settle the question whether there exist non-trivial knots with trivial Jones polynomial. In this paper we show that such a knot must have crossing number at least 18. Furthermore we give the number of prime alternating knots and an upper bound for the number of prime knots up to 17 crossings. We also compute the number of diierent Hommy, Jones and Alexander polynomia...
متن کاملAn Atlas of Legendrian Knots
We present an atlas of Legendrian knots in standard contact three-space. This gives a conjectural Legendrian classification for all knots with arc index at most 9, including alternating knots through 7 crossings and nonalternating knots through 9 crossings. Our method involves a computer search of grid diagrams and applies to transverse knots as well. The atlas incorporates a number of new, sma...
متن کاملKnots, Links and Tangles
We start with some terminology from differential topology [1]. Let be a circle and ≥ 2 be an integer. An immersion : → R is a smooth function whose derivative never vanishes. An embedding : → R is an immersion that is oneto-one. It follows that () is a manifold but () need not be ( is only locally one-to-one, so consider the map that twists into a figure eight). A knot is a s...
