Everywhere Equivalent 3-Braids

چکیده
A knot (or link) diagram is said to be everywhere equivalent if all the diagrams obtained by switching one crossing represent the same knot (or link). We classify such diagrams of a closed 3-braid.

Closed Braids and Heegaard Splittings
In this note we will be investigating a strategy for constructing 3-manifolds that have multiple strongly irreducible Heegaard splittings that are not equivalent. This strategy combines techiques involving framed links and a calculus on closed braids developed by Joan Birman and the author.
متن کاملOn Singular Braids
In Vassiliev theory, there is a natural monoid homo-morphism from n-strand singular braids to the group algebra of n-strand braid group. J. Birman conjectured that this monoid homomorphism is injective. We show that the monoid homomor-phism is injective on braids with up to three singularities and that Birman's conjecture is equivalent to that singular braids are dis-tinguishable by Vassiliev b...
متن کاملA Polynomial Time Algorithm for the Braid Diffie-Hellman Conjugacy Problem
We propose the first polynomial time algorithm for the braid DiffieHellman conjugacy problem (DHCP) on which the braid key exchange scheme and the braid encryption scheme are based [9]. We show the proposed method solves the DHCP for the image of braids under the Lawrence-Krammer representation and the solutions play the equivalent role of the original key for the DHCP of braids. Given a braid ...
متن کاملEquivalence of Graded Module Braids and Interlocking Sequences
The category of totally ordered graded module braids and that of the exact interlocking sequences are shown to be equivalent. As an application of this equivalence, we show the existence of a connection matrix for a totally ordered graded module braid without assuming the existence of chain complex braid that induces the given graded module braid.
متن کاملWoven Braids and their Closures
A special class of braids, called woven, is introduced and it is shown qcxthat every conjugation class of the braid group contains woven braids. In consequence tame links can be presented as plats and closures of woven braids. Restricting on knots we get the ‘woven version’ of the well-known theorem of Markov, giving moves that are capable of producing all woven braids with equivalent closures....
