10 results for multi-crossings

An increasing sequence of integers is said to be universal for knots if every knot has a reduced regular projection on the sphere such that the number of edges of each complementary face of the projection comes from the given sequence. Adams, Shinjo, and Tanaka have, in a work, shown that (2,4,5) and (3,4,n) (where n i…

A multi-crossing (or n-crossing) is a singular point in a projection at which n strands cross so that each strand bisects the crossing. We generalize the classic result of Kauffman, Murasugi, and Thistlethwaite, which gives the upper bound on the span of the bracket polynomial of K as 4c_2(K), to the n-crossing number:…

Introduced recently, an n-crossing is a singular point in a projection of a link at which n strands cross such that each strand travels straight through the crossing. We introduce the notion of an übercrossing projection, a knot projection with a single n-crossing. Such a projection is necessarily composed of a collect…

The paper finds petal numbers of torus knots using superbridge indices.

problem Determining petal numbers of torus knots.
method Using superbridge indices, the paper establishes relations between superbridge indices and petal numbers of torus knots.
result The petal number of Tr,sT_{r,s} is found to be 2s12s-1 when 1<r<s1 < r < s and r1modsrr \equiv 1 \mod s-r. The upper bound is $2s - 2\Big\lfloor \frac{s}{r} \Big floor +1$.
