The paper classifies knots in real projective 3-space and introduces new geometric tools.

problem Classifying knots in real projective 3-space and understanding their properties.
method Structural theorem, space bending surgery, genus definition, non-cancellation theorem.
result The genus detects knottedness and classifies knots in real projective 3-space.

We give a classification of compact solitons for the pluriclosed flow on complex surfaces. First, by exploiting results from the Kodaira classification of surfaces, we show that the complex surface underlying a soliton must be Kähler except for the possibility of steady solitons on minimal Hopf surfaces. Then, we const…

We explore the dynamics of the action of the mapping class group in genus 2 on the PSL(2,R)-character variety. We prove that this action is ergodic on the connected components of Euler class 1 and -1, as it was conjectured by Goldman. In the connected component of Euler class 0 there are two invariant open subsets, on …

We introduce certain relative differential characters which we call Cheeger-Chern-Simons characters. These combine the well-known Cheeger-Simons characters with Chern-Simons forms. In the same way as the Cheeger-Simons characters generalize Chern-Simons invariants of oriented closed manifolds, the Cheeger-Chern-Simons …

The Hopf surfaces provide a family of minimal non-Kähler surfaces of class VII on which little is known about the Chern-Ricci flow. We use a construction of Gauduchon-Ornea for locally conformally Kähler metrics on primary Hopf surfaces of class 1 to study solutions of the Chern-Ricci flow. These solutions reach a volu…

In this paper we consider pseudo-Riemannian spaces of arbitrary signature for which all of the polynomial curvature invariants vanish (VSI spaces). Using an algebraic classification of pseudo-Riemannian spaces in terms of the boost-weight decomposition we first show more generally that a space which is not characterise…

New proof of trapezoidal property for Alexander polynomials of special alternating links.

problem Proving trapezoidal property of Alexander polynomials for special alternating links.
method Analyzing vector configurations from matroids and totally positive matrices.
result Alexander polynomials of special alternating links exhibit log-concavity and trapezoidal properties.

Knot contact homology is an invariant of knots derived from Legendrian contact homology which has numerous connections to the knot group. We use basic properties of knot groups to prove that knot contact homology detects every torus knot. Further, if the knot contact homology of a knot is isomorphic to that of a cable …

We study Legendrian knots in a cabled knot type. Specifically, given a topological knot type K, we analyze the Legendrian knots in knot types obtained from K by cabling, in terms of Legendrian knots in the knot type K. As a corollary of this analysis, we show that the (2,3)-cable of the (2,3)-torus knot is not transver…

Study concordance of alternating torus knots to L-space knots.

problem When are linear combinations of alternating torus knots concordant to L-space knots?
method Proved Allen's conjecture for alternating torus knots and established a necessary condition.
result Linear combinations of alternating torus knots are concordant to L-space knots if and only if they are a single torus knot.

The study confirms conjectures about slopes of knots using knot Floer homology.

problem Verifying conjectures about non-integer characterizing slopes of knots.
method Using knot Floer homology, the study verifies conjectures for specific classes of knots.
result Almost all slopes are characterizing for many knots, and infinitely many for LL-space knots.

A quadrisecant of a knot is a straight line intersecting the knot at four points. If a knot has finitely many quadrisecants, one can replace each subarc between two adjacent secant points by the line segment between them to get the quadrisecant approximation of the original knot. It was conjectured that the quadrisecan…

problem Detecting and distinguishing knots using Khovanov homology.
method Examining all prime knots with up to 20 crossings, conjecturing Legendrian simplicity.
result Numerical evidence supports Khovanov homology distinguishing torus and twist knots.

Study grid homology of diagonal knots, finding key terms related to prime factors and decompositions.

problem Determine grid homology of diagonal knots and compare them to other knot types.
method Use grid diagrams and combinatorial knot Floer homology to analyze diagonal knots.
result Grid homology detects the number of prime factors and decompositions of the knot into non-integer tangles.

New knot concept extends welded knots, simplifying classification.

method Introducing 'wen knots', proving subset relationships, characterizing complements.
result Extended welded knots can be fully characterized by the parity of wens.

We define cylinder knots as billiard knots in a cylinder. We present a necessary condition for cylinder knots: after dividing cylinder knots by possible rotational symmetries we obtain ribbon knots. We obtain an upper bound for the number of cylinder knots with two fixed parameters (out of three). In addition we prove …

Researchers confirm a relation between knot invariants and provide formulas for torus knots.

problem Confirming a relation between knot invariants and providing formulas.
method Explicit formulas and algorithms for certain ADO-invariants of torus knots obtained from the series invariant of knot complements.
result Explicit formulas and algorithms for certain ADO-invariants of torus knots.

In a previous paper, we introduced special types of fusions, so called simple-ribbon fusions on links. A knot obtained from the trivial knot by a finite sequence of simple-ribbon fusions is called a simple-ribbon knot. Every ribbon knot with <10 crossings is a simple-ribbon knot. In this paper, we give a formula for th…

We have a knot quandle and a fundamental class as invariants for a surface-knot. These invariants can be defined for a classical knot in a similar way, and it is known that the pair of them is a complete invariant for classical knots. In this paper, we compare a situation in surface-knot theory with that in classical k…
