The paper classifies links up to link-homotopy using claspers.

problem Classifying links up to link-homotopy.
method Using Habiro's clasper calculus, defining a linear representation of the homotopy braid group, and providing a geometric proof.
result Geometric proof of Levine's classification of 4-component links and further classification of 5-component links in the algebraically split case.

We generalized the periodic links to \emph{transitive} links in a 33-manifold MM. We find a complete classification theorem of transitive links in a 33-dimensional sphere R3\mathbb{R}^3. We study these links from several different aspects including polynomial invariants using the relation between link polynomials of…

A pass-move and a $#$-move are local moves on oriented links defined by L.H. Kauffman and H. Murakami respectively. Two links are self pass-equivalent (resp. self $#$-equivalent) if one can be deformed into the other by pass-moves (resp. $#$-moves), where non of them can occur between distinct components of the link. T…

Two string links are equivalent up to 2n2n-moves and link-homotopy if and only if their all Milnor link-homotopy invariants are congruent modulo nn. Moreover, the set of the equivalence classes forms a finite group generated by elements of order nn. The classification induces that if two string links are equivalent u…

A C_n-move is a local move on links defined by Habiro and Goussarov, which can be regarded as a `higher order crossing change'. We use Milnor invariants with repeating indices to provide several classification results for links up to C_n-moves, under certain restrictions. Namely, we give a classification up to C_4-move…

method Complete coarse classification using Legendrian knot theory.
result First classification result about exceptional Legendrian representatives for Hopf link connected sums.

This paper gives new and elementary combinatorial topological proofs of the classification of unoriented and oriented rational knots and links. These proofs are based on the known classification of alternating knots through flyping, and the calculus of continued fractions. We characterize the class of strongly invertib…

Flat plumbing basket surfaces of links were introduced to study the geometry of the complement of the links. In present article, we study links of the flat plumbing basket numbers 44 or less using a special presentation of the flat plumbing basket surfaces. We find a complete classification theorem of links of the fla…

A new classification theorem for links by the authors and Roger Fenn leads to computable link invariants. As an illustration we distinguish the left and right trefoils and recover the result of Carter et al that the 2-twist-spun trefoil is not isotopic to its orientation reverse. We sketch the proof the classification …

In this paper, we give an isotopy classification of 3-bridge spheres of 3-bridge arborescent links, which are not Montesinos links. To this end, we prove a certain refinement of a theorem of J.S. Birman and H.M. Hilden on the relation between bridge presentations of links and Heegaard splittings of 3-manifolds. In the …

Ribbon 2-knotted objects are locally flat embeddings of surfaces in 4-space which bound immersed 3-manifolds with only ribbon singularities. They appear as topological realizations of welded knotted objects, which is a natural quotient of virtual knot theory. In this paper we consider ribbon tubes and ribbon torus-link…

Link prediction in a graph is the problem of detecting the missing links that would be formed in the near future. Using a graph representation of the data, we can convert the problem of classification to the problem of link prediction which aims at finding the missing links between the unlabeled data (unlabeled nodes) …

The paper classifies virtual links using the arc shift operation.

problem Classifying \( n \)-component virtual links up to arc shift equivalence.
method Established the arc shift operation as an unknotting tool for \( n \)-homogeneous proper virtual links, explored its connection to the odd writhe, and identified sequences with specific arc shift bounds.
result Identified sequences of virtual link diagrams \( L_n \) with an upper bound of arc shift number equal to \( n \).

The paper classifies pretzel links with 2 components and gives conditions for those with 3 or more.

result Necessary and sufficient conditions for self delta-equivalence of pretzel links with 3 or more components.

In this note, we complete the classification of quasi-alternating Montesinos links. We show that the quasi-alternating Montesinos links are precisely those identified independently by Qazaqzeh-Chbili-Qublan and Champanerkar-Ording. A consequence of our proof is that a Montesinos link LL is quasi-alternating if and onl…

In this paper we define and study flexible links and flexible isotopy in projective space. Flexible links are meant to capture the topological properties of real algebraic links. We classify all flexible links up to flexible isotopy using Ekholms interpretation of Viros encomplexed writhe.

result Maximum degree of Jones polynomial for fibered positive knots is at most four times the minimum degree.

Given a clover link, we construct a bottom tangle by using a disk/band surface of the clover link. Since the Milnor number is already defined for a bottom tangle, we define the Milnor number for the clover link to be the Milnor number for the bottom tangle and show that for a clover link, if Milnor numbers of length k …

Let P be a closed smooth (4j-2)-connected 8j-manifold. We complete Wilkens' classification of the manifolds P for j = 1,2 and give an alternative proof to Wall's classification of the manifolds for j > 2. The Hopf-invariant-one dimensions (j=1,2) are characteristed by the fact that the quadratic linking functions which…

Cobordism of virtual string links on nn strands is a combinatorial generalization of link cobordism. There exists a bijection between virtual string links up to cobordisms and elements of the group Zn(n1)\mathbb{Z}^{n(n-1)}. This paper also shows that virtual string links up to unwelded equivalence are classified by those…
