p-Colorings of Weaving Knots
نویسنده
چکیده
We explore the p-colorability of a family of knots known as weaving knots. First, we show some general results pertaining to p-coloring any (m, n) weaving knot. We then determine the p-colorability of any (m, 3) weaving knot, and designate these p-colorings into two separate types, whose characteristics we begin to explore. We also partially classify some of the p-colorings for any (m, n) weaving knot when n is even. Finally, we discuss different ways to count the number of p-colorings of a knot and then use these counting methods to calculate the number of one type of p-coloring of (m, 3) weaving knots.

Volume Bounds for Weaving Knots
Weaving knots are alternating knots with the same projection as torus knots, and were conjectured by X.-S. Lin to be among the maximum volume knots for fixed crossing number. We provide the first asymptotically correct volume bounds for weaving knots, and we prove that the infinite weave is their geometric limit.
متن کاملQuandle colorings of knots and applications.
We present a set of 26 finite quandles that distinguish (up to reversal and mirror image) by number of colorings, all of the 2977 prime oriented knots with up to 12 crossings. We also show that 1058 of these knots can be distinguished from their mirror images by the number of colorings by quandles from a certain set of 23 finite quandles. We study the colorings of these 2977 knots by all of the...

Plain weaving is one of the most beautiful and widely used geometric forms. In plain weaving, a set of distinct threads (or yarns) are interlaced with each other to form a fabric or cloth where each thread crosses the other threads ...
متن کاملFundamentally Different m-Colorings of Pretzel Knots
We show that the number of fundamentally different m-colorings of a knot K depends only on the m-nullity of K, and develop a formula for the number of such colorings. We also determine the m-colorability and m-nullity of any (p, q, r) pretzel knot, and therefore determine the number of fundamentally different m-colorings for any (p, q, r)
متن کاملOn the Kauffman-Harary conjecture for Alexander quandle colorings
The Kauffman-Harary conjecture is a conjecture for Fox’s colorings of alternating knots with prime determinants. We consider a conjecture for Alexander quandle colorings by referring to the Kauffman-Harary conjecture. We prove that this new conjecture is true for twist knots.
