48 results for Polyak-Viro formula

We present a new method to produce simple formulas for 1-cocycles of knots over the integers, inspired by Polyak-Viro's formulas for finite-type knot invariants. We conjecture that these formulas always represent finite-type cohomology classes in the sense of Vassiliev. An example of degree 3 is studied, and shown to c…

Formula for Milnor triple linking number in link diagrams with multiple crossings.

problem Calculating Milnor triple linking number for complex link diagrams.
method Polyak-Viro type formula with explicit computation of configuration space integral.
result Formula applicable to diagrams with triple or more crossings.

Although it is known that the dimension of the Vassiliev invariants of degree three of long virtual knots is seven, the complete list of seven distinct Gauss diagram formulas have been unknown explicitly, where only one known formula was revised without proof. In this paper, we give seven Gauss diagram formulas to pres…

We describe the Polyak-Viro arrow diagram formulas for the coefficients of the Conway polynomial. As a consequence, we obtain the Conway polynomial as a state sum over some subsets of the crossings of the knot diagram. It turns out to be a simplification of a special case of Jaeger's state model for the HOMFLY polynomi…

New formulas classify higher-dimensional knots and links.

result Obtained combinatorial formulas for invariants of smooth embeddings of (4k1)(4k-1)-dimensional knots and links in R6k\mathbb{R}^{6k}.

Goussarov, Polyak, and Viro proved that finite type invariants of knots are ``finitely multi-local'', meaning that on a knot diagram, sums of quantities, defined by local information, determine the value of the knot invariant. The result implies the existence of Gauss diagram combinatorial formulas for finite type inva…

We develop homological techniques for finding explicit combinatorial expressions of finite-type cohomology classes of spaces of knots in Rn,n3,R^n, n \ge 3, generalizing Polyak--Viro formulas for invariants (i.e. 0-dimensional cohomology classes) of knots in R3R^3. As the first applications we give such formulas for the (r…

Using the recent Gauss diagram formulas for Vassiliev invariants of Polyak-Viro-Fiedler and combining these formulas with the Bennequin inequality, we prove several inequalities for positive knots relating their Vassiliev invariants, genus and degrees of the Jones polynomial. As a consequence, we prove that for any of …

Using the Fiedler-Polyak-Viro Gauss diagram formulas we study the Vassiliev invariants of degree 2 and 3 on almost positive knots. As a consequence we show that the number of almost positive knots of given genus or unknotting number grows polynomially in the crossing number, and also recover and extend, inter alia to t…

result First derivatives of V1(K;t)V_1(K;t) and V2(K;t)V_2(K;t) at t=1t=1 define finite type invariants of degree three.

In this article, we investigate various properties of the pure virtual braid group PV_3. From its canonical presentation, we obtain a free product decomposition of PV_3. As a consequence, we show that PV_3 is residually torsion free nilpotent, which implies that the set of finite type invariants in the sense of Goussar…

In this paper, we investigate twist sequences for Kauffman finite-type invariants and Goussarov-Polyak-Viro finite-type invariants. It is shown that one obtains a Kauffman or GPV type of degree n\le n if and only if an invariant is a polynomial of degree n\le n on every twist lattice of the right form. The main resul…

We prove two tropical gluing formulae for Gromov-Witten invariants of exploded manifolds, useful for calculating Gromov-Witten invariants of a symplectic manifold using a normal-crossing degeneration. The first formula generalizes the symplectic-sum formula for Gromov-Witten invariants. The second formula is stronger, …

The main result of the present paper is a coincidence formula for foliated manifolds.
