11 results for 2-tangle

Study tangle equations linking enzyme actions to knot theory.

problem Proving the Jones Unknot conjecture and understanding tangle solutions.
method Analyzing framed tangle equations and introducing Kauffman bracket ratios.
result Unique rational solutions for tangle equations imply the Jones Unknot conjecture.

We construct the universal sl(2)-tangle cohomology using an approach with webs and dotted foams. This theory depends on two parameters, and for the case of links it is a categorification of the unnormalized Jones polynomial of the link.

The paper introduces a cobordism for Khovanov homology crossing change and categorifies Vassiliev skein relations.

problem Khovanov homology and crossing changes in tangle diagrams.
method Introducing a sum of cobordisms that yields a morphism on Khovanov homology complexes for crossing change.
result The introduced cobordism is invariant under double point moves and categorifies Vassiliev skein relations.

In this paper, We introduce an invariant of rational n-tangles which is obtained from the Kauffman bracket. It forms a vector with Laurent polynomial entries. We prove that the invariant classifies the rational 2-tangles and the reduced alternating rational 3-tangles. We conjecture that it classifies the rational 3-tan…

We note that a rational 33-tangle diagram is obtained from a combination of four generators. There is an algorithm to distinguish two rational 33-tangle diagrams up to isotopy. However, there is no perfect classification about rational 33-tangle diagrams such as the classification of rational 22-tangle diagrams cor…

We construct a bigraded (co)homology theory which depends on a parameter a, and whose graded Euler characteristic is the quantum sl(2) link invariant. We follow Bar-Natan's approach to tangles on one side, and Khovanov's sl(3) theory for foams on the other side. Our theory is properly functorial under tangle cobordisms…

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…

Given a compact oriented 3-manifold M in S^3 with boundary, an (M,2n)-tangle T is a 1-manifold with 2n boundary components properly embedded in M. We say that T embeds in a link L in S^3 if T can be completed to L by a 1-manifold with 2n boundary components exterior to M. The link L is called a closure of T. We define …
