problem Classifying expanding attractors and non-transitive Anosov flows on specific knot and manifold spaces.
method Using the derived Anosov (DA) expanding attractor and the Franks-Williams manifold, the paper proves the uniqueness of these structures.
result The DA expanding attractor and the Franks-Williams non-transitive Anosov flow are the unique structures supported by N0 and M0 respectively. Characterizes diagrams achieving Morton-Franks-Williams inequality for positive knots and links.
problem Understanding when the Morton-Franks-Williams inequality holds for positive knots and links.
method Combinatorial characterisation and generating examples.
result Examples of diagrams achieving crossing number, braid index, and maximal self-linking number.
We give conditions on a knot on which the Morton-Franks-Williams inequality is not sharp. As applications, we show infinitely many examples of knots where the inequality is not sharp and also prove (by giving examples) that the deficit of the inequality can be arbitrarily large.
We generalize the Morton-Franks-Williams inequality to the colored sl(N) link homology defined in arXiv:0907.0695, which gives infinitely many new bounds for the braid index and the self linking number. A key ingredient of our proof is a composition product for the general MOY graph polynomial, which gener…
We study the Morton-Franks-Williams inequality for closures of simple braids (also known as positive permutation braids). This allows to prove, in a simple way, that the set of simple braids is a orthonormal basis for the inner product of the Hecke algebra of the braid group defined by Kálmán, who first obtained this r…

Notably, these 22 manifolds contain 9 asymmetric L-space knot complements. Furthermore, using SnapPy a…
We give criteria for an invariant of lens space links to bound the maximal self-linking number in certain tight contact lens spaces. As a corollary we extend the Franks-Williams-Morton inequality to the setting of lens spaces.
We prove the existence of a knot whose braid index the Morton-Franks-Williams inequality fails to detect but a related inequality (KR-MFW inequality), which uses new information of Khovanov-Rozansky homology, detects. We also prove, by examples, that there exists infinitely many knots for which the KR-MFW inequality fa…
We point out that the Homfly polynomial (that is to say, Ocneanu's trace functional) contains two polynomial-valued inner products on the Hecke algebra representation of Artin's braid group. These bear a close connection to the Morton-Franks-Williams inequality. In these structures, the sets of positive, respectively n…
We use Ozsváth, Stipsicz, and Szabó's Upsilon-invariant to provide bounds on cobordisms between knots that `contain full-twists'. In particular, we recover and generalize a classical consequence of the Morton-Franks-Williams inequality for knots: positive braids that contain a positive full-twist realize the braid inde…
Let β be a braid on n strands, with exponent sum w. Let Δ be the Garside half-twist braid. We prove that the coefficient of vw−n+1 in the Homfly polynomial of the closure of β agrees with (−1)n−1 times the coefficient of vw+n2−1 in the Homfly polynomial of the closure of βΔ2. This coinciden…
It has been conjectured that the algebraic crossing number of a link is uniquely determined in minimal braid representation. This conjecture is true for many classes of knots and links. The Morton-Franks-Williams inequality gives a lower bound for braid index. And sharpness of the inequality on a knot type implies the …
Associated with each oriented link is the two variable Homflypt polynomial. The Morton-Franks-Williams (MFW) inequality gives rise to an expression for the Homflypt polynomial with MFW coefficient polynomials. These MFW coefficient polynomials are labelled in a braid-dependent manner and may be zero, but display a numb…
We give examples of knots with some unusual properties of the crossing number of positive diagrams or strand number of positive braid representations. In particular we show that positive braid knots may not have positive minimal (strand number) braid representations, giving a counterpart to results of Franks-Williams a…
It is well known that any link can be represented by the closure of a braid. The minimum number of strings needed in a braid whose closure represents a given link is called the braid index of the link and the well known Morton-Frank-Williams inequality reveals a close relationship between the HOMFLY polynomial of a lin…
In this chapter (Chapter V) we present several results which demonstrate a close connection and useful exchange of ideas between graph theory and knot theory. These disciplines were shown to be related from the time of Tait (if not Listing) but the great flow of ideas started only after Jones discoveries. The first dee…
