6 results for 4-tangle

The paper computes a knot's Kauffman bracket polynomial using recursive concatenation of a 4-tangle shadow.

problem Computing the Kauffman bracket polynomial for complex knots.
method Recursive concatenation of a 4-tangle shadow, followed by a closure operation and polynomial computation.
result A method to compute the Kauffman bracket polynomial for knots formed from 4-tangle shadows.

We consider the ways in which a 4-tangle T inside a unit cube can be extended outside the cube into a knot or link L. We present two links n(T) and d(T) such that the greatest common divisor of the determinants of these two links always divides the determinant of the link L. In order to prove this result we give a two-…

New obstructions for embedding one compact oriented 3-manifold in another are given. A theorem of D. Krebes concerning 4-tangles embedded in links arises as a special case. Algebraic and skein-theoretic generalizations for 2n-tangles provide invariants that persist in the corresponding invariants of links in which they…

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 …
