The paper studies pseudo links in genus g handlebodies, generalizing knot theory.

problem Modeling DNA knots with missing crossing information.

result The theory of pseudo links is closely related to singular links and can be applied to study singular links in genus g handlebodies.

It is known that a knot complement can be decomposed into ideal octahedra along a knot diagram. A solution to the gluing equations applied to this decomposition gives a pseudo-developing map of the knot complement, which will be called a pseudo-hyperbolic structure. In this paper, we study these in terms of segment and…

This paper shows how pseudo-Anosov flows represent stable Hamiltonian classes and limits the ways 3-manifolds can be obtained from knots.

problem Understanding the canonical representatives of stable Hamiltonian classes and their implications for 3-manifolds.

New examples of knots with infinitely many inequivalent slice disks.

Pseudo links have two crossing types: classical crossings and indeterminate crossings. They were first introduced by Ryo Hanaki as a possible tool for analyzing images produced by electron microscopy of DNA. A normalized bracket polynomial is defined for pseudo links and then used to construct and obstruction to cosmet…

We consider the recently introduced knotting-unknotting game, in which two players take turns resolving crossings in a knot diagram which initially is missing all its crossing information. Once the knot is fully resolved, the winner is decided by whether the knot is equivalent to the unknot. In this paper we determine …

Simon's knot genus problem solved with 3-manifold groups.

problem If epimorphism exists between knot groups, knot genus of one is greater than or equal to the other.
method Proved conjecture linking 3-manifold groups and Thurston norms, showed locally indicable groups are Lewin groups.
result Existence of epimorphism between knot groups implies knot genus inequality.

J. Hempel's definition of the distance of a Heegaard surface generalizes to a complexity for a knot which is in bridge position with respect to a Heegaard surface. Our main result is that the distance of a knot in bridge position is bounded above by twice the genus, plus the number of boundary components, of an essenti…

result Almost completely classified genus-two, hyperbolic, fibered knots.

For n >1, if the Seifert form of a knotted 2n-1 sphere K in S^{2n+1} has a metabolizer, then the knot is slice. Casson and Gordon proved that this is false in dimension three (n = 1). However, in the three dimensional case it is true that if the metabolizer has a basis represented by a strongly slice link then K is sli…

Lehmer's question is equivalent to one about generalized growth rates of Lefschetz numbers of iterated pseudo-Anosov surface homeomorphisms. One need consider only homeomorphisms that arise as monodromies of fibered knots in lens spaces L(n,1), n>0. Lehmer's question for Perron polynomials is equivalent to one about ge…

A knot complement admits a pseudo-hyperbolic structure by solving Thurston's gluing equations for an octahedral decomposition. It is known that a solution to these equations can be described in terms of region variables, also called ww-variables. In this paper, we consider the case when pinched octahedra appear as a b…

Based on the analogies between knot theory and number theory, we study a deformation theory for SL_2-representations of knot groups, following after Mazur's deformation theory of Galois representations. Firstly, by employing the pseudo-SL_2-representations, we prove the existence of the universal deformation of a given…

We prove a complete classification theorem for loose Legendrian knots in an oriented 3-manifold, generalizing results of Dymara and Ding-Geiges. Our approach is to classify knots in a 33-manifold MM that are transverse to a nowhere-zero vector field VV up to the corresponding isotopy relation. Such knots are called …

To a special type of grope embedded in 4-space, that we call an admissible grope, we associate a length function for each real number q at least 1. This gives rise to a family of pseudo-metrics d^q, refining the slice genus metric, on the set of concordance classes of knots, as the infimum of the length function taken …

A two-component link produces a torus as the product of the component knots in a two-point configuration space of a three-sphere. This space can be identified with a cotangent bundle and also with an indefinite Grassmannian. We show that the integration of the absolute value of the canonical symplectic form is equal to…

The aim of this paper is to describe the structure group of the tangent bundle of the two base manifolds: $$ B(M,N) = E…

We define a concept which we call multiplicity. First, multiplicity of a morphism is defined. Then the multiplicity of an object over another object is defined to be the minimum of the multiplicities of all morphisms from one to another. Based on this multiplicity, we define a pseudo distance on the class of objects. W…
