Link signature limit depends on linking matrix under specific polynomial condition.

We show some properties of a Seifert matrix of an $n$-component Brunnian link. In particular, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a matrix to be a Seifert matrix of a 2-component Brunnian link up to S-equivalence.

In this paper we introduce two theories of finite type invariants for framed links with fixed linking matrix. We show that these thepries are related to the theory of Vassiliev invariants of framed links. We also study the corresponding spaces of ``chord diagrams''.

We prove that the foam and matrix factorization universal rational sl3 link homologies are naturally isomorphic as projective functors from the category of link and link cobordisms to the category of bigraded vector spaces.

A new method computes link invariants from diagrams.

We discuss the connection between colorings of a link diagram and the Goeritz matrix.

A checkerboard graph of a special diagram of an oriented link is made a directed, edge-weighted graph in a natural way so that a principal minor of its Laplacian matrix is a Seifert matrix of the link. Doubling and weighting the edges of the graph produces a second Laplacian matrix such that a principal minor is an Ale…

Algorithm calculates Jones polynomial from Goeritz matrix.

Study Alexander matrices for link quandles and their relation to knot invariants.

In a recent work of Ayaka Shimizu$^{[5]}$, she defined an operation named region crossing change on link diagrams, and showed that region crossing change is an unknotting operation for knot diagrams. In this paper, we prove that region crossing change on a 2-component link diagram is an unknotting operation if and only…

The data in many disciplines such as social networks, web analysis, etc. is link-based, and the link structure can be exploited for many different data mining tasks. In this paper, we consider the problem of temporal link prediction: Given link data for times 1 through T, can we predict the links at time T+1? If our da…

This article gives matrix factorizations for the trivalent diagrams and double line appearing in $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ quantum link invariant. These matrix factorizations reconstruct Khovanov-Rozansky homology. And we show that the Euler characteristic of the matrix factorization for a double loop equals the quantum dimens…

Basket links are shown to be isotopic to $T(2,n+1)$.

The ubiquitous proliferation of online social networks has led to the widescale emergence of relational graphs expressing unique patterns in link formation and descriptive user node features. Matrix Factorization and Completion have become popular methods for Link Prediction due to the low rank nature of mutual node fr…

Improved bipartite link prediction using 2-hop paths.

We study the linking numbers in a rational homology 3-sphere and in the infinite cyclic cover of the complement of a knot. They take values in $\Bbb Q$ and in ${Q}({\Bbb Z}[t,t^{-1}])$ respectively, where ${Q}({\Bbb Z}[t,t^{-1}])$ denotes the quotient field of ${\Bbb Z}[t,t^{-1}]$. It is known that the modulo-$\Bbb Z$ …

Simplified Khovanov polynomials for bipartite links.

Extends classical results to virtual links, proving new properties of alternating and semi-alternating virtual links.

The paper proposes DEA to make graph neural networks fairer in link prediction.

Simplified KR polynomial for bipartite links reduces to tensor products of vector spaces.

Starting from considering deeper relationship between conjugacy classes and irreducible representations of a finite group $G$, we find some quite simple $R-$matrice defined by using finite groups. This construction produces many sets (or topological spaces) admitting braid group actions. We introduce conceptions "exten…

The paper defines and computes a knot complement invariant for simple links.

Homogeneous links were introduced by Peter Cromwell, who proved that the projection surface of these links, that given by the Seifert algorithm, has minimal genus. Here we provide a different proof, with a geometric rather than combinatorial flavor. To do this, we first show a direct relation between the Seifert matrix…

Paper proposes a new method to improve clustering ensemble performance.

Invariants defined for braid systems under Hurwitz equivalence.

Proposes a Bayesian approach for integrating multiple linked matrices.

A new method calculates HOMFLY-PT polynomials for bipartite links.

To a presentation of an oriented link as the closure of a braid we assign a complex of bigraded vector spaces. The Euler characteristic of this complex (and of its triply-graded cohomology groups) is the HOMFLYPT polynomial of the link. We show that the dimension of each cohomology group is a link invariant.

The Goeritz matrix of a link is obtained from the Jacobian matrix of a modified Dehn presentation associated to a diagram using Fox's free differential calculus. When the diagram is special the Seifert matrix can also be determined from the presentation.

We use topological methods to prove a semicontinuity property of the Hodge spectra for analytic germs defined on an isolated surface singularity. For this we introduce an analogue of the Seifert matrix (the fractured Seifert matrix), and of the Levine--Tristram signatures associated with it, defined for null-homologous…

The Kashaev conjecture is proven for classical signatures and Alexander polynomials of links.

We describe completely the link invariants constructed using Markov traces on the Yokonuma-Hecke algebras in terms of the linking matrix and the HOMFLYPT polynomials of sublinks.

Develops a new causal model for path-dependent link prediction.

New approach links 2D fluid dynamics to matrix theory.

Knot Theory is currently a very broad field. Even a long survey can only cover a narrow area. Here we concentrate on the path from Goeritz matrices to quasi-alternating links. On the way, we often stray from the main road and tell related stories, especially if they allow as to place the main topic in a historical cont…

We trade matrix factorizations and Koszul complexes for Hochschild homology of Soergel bimodules to modify the construction of triply-graded link homology and relate it to Kazhdan-Lusztig theory.

The ``Links-Gould invariant'' is a two-variable Laurent polynomial invariant of oriented (1,1) tangles, which is derived from the representation of the braid generator associated with the one-parameter family of four dimensional representations with highest weights (0,0|a) of the quantum superalgebra U_q[gl(2|1)]. We u…

Latent topic models have been successfully applied as an unsupervised topic discovery technique in large document collections. With the proliferation of hypertext document collection such as the Internet, there has also been great interest in extending these approaches to hypertext [6, 9]. These approaches typically mo…

The Reshetikhin-Turaev sl(N) polynomial of links colored by wedge powers of the defining representation has been categorified via several different approaches. Here, we give a concise introduction to the categorification using matrix factorizations, which is a direct generalization of the Khovanov-Rozansky homology. Fu…

In this paper, a regional knot invariant is constructed. Like the Wirtinger presentation of a knot group, each planar region contributes a generator, and each crossing contributes a relation. The invariant is call a tridle of the link. As in the quandle theory, one can define Alexander quandle and get Alexander polynom…

The estimation of probabilities of network edges from the observed adjacency matrix has important applications to predicting missing links and network denoising. It has usually been addressed by estimating the graphon, a function that determines the matrix of edge probabilities, but this is ill-defined without strong a…

BIDIFAC+ factorizes linked matrices for cancer studies.

We introduce a matrix representation of a chord on a tangle which leads us to representing tangle chord diagrams as stacks of matrices that we call books. We show that band sum moves, Reidemeister moves as well as orientation changes are implemented on \widetilde{Z}_f - a framed link invariant constructed from the Kont…

This talk is a report on joint work with A. Vaintrob [arXiv:math.CO/0109104 and math.GT/0111102]. It is organised as follows. We begin by recalling how the classical Matrix-Tree Theorem relates two different expressions for the lowest degree coefficient of the Alexander-Conway polynomial of a link. We then state our fo…

We extend the notion of intersection graphs for knots in the theory of finite type invariants to string links. We use our definition to develop weight systems for string links via the adjacency matrix of the intersection graph, and show that these weight systems are related to the weight systems induced by the Conway a…

We define a notion of finite type invariants for links with a fixed linking matrix. We show that Milnor's triple link homotopy invariant is a finite type invariant, of type 1, in this sense. We also generalize the approach to Milnor's higher order homotopy invariants and show that they are also, in a sense, of finite t…

We explain an algorithm for finding a boundary link Seifert matrix for a given Alexander polynomial. The algorithm depends on several choices and therefore makes it possible to find non-equivalent Seifert matrices for a given Alexander polynomial.
