48 results for ribbon torus-links

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…

We consider knotted annuli in 4-space, called 2-string-links, which are knotted surfaces in codimension two that are naturally related, via closure operations, to both 2-links and 2-torus links. We classify 2-string-links up to link-homotopy by means of a 4-dimensional version of Milnor invariants. The key to our proof…

We characterize the first Alexander Z[Z]-modules of ribbon surface-links in the 4-sphere fixing the number of components and the total genus, and then the first Alexander Z[Z]-modules of surface-links in the 4-sphere fixing the number of components. Using the result of ribbon torus-links, we also characterize the first…

Study signatures of torus links and their cores using Neumann's equivariant signatures and Hirzebruch's formula.

problem Computing signatures of torus links and their cores.
method Use Neumann's equivariant signatures and rewrite Hirzebruch's formula for torus links (without cores) in terms of integral points in a parallelogram.
result Rewritten Hirzebruch's formula for torus links with cores using integral points in a parallelogram.

We introduce a new method for computing triply graded link homology, which is particularly well-adapted to torus links. Our main application is to the (n,n)-torus links, for which we give an exact answer for all n. In several cases, our computations verify conjectures of Gorsky et al relating homology of torus links wi…

Characters from logarithmic VOAs linked to torus link invariants.

method Relating characters to coloured Jones invariants of torus links.
result Characters of logarithmic VOAs are limits of coloured Jones invariants of torus links.

The paper introduces an algebraic structure for the stable Khovanov homology of torus links.

problem Studying the stable limit of negative torus links in reduced Khovanov homology.
method Endowing the stable space with a bi-graded commutative algebra structure and describing these algebras explicitly.
result Explicit description of algebras for specific cases and a lower bound for homology width.

The structure of the Khovanov homology of (n,m)(n,m) torus links has been extensively studied. In particular, Marko Stosic proved that the homology groups stabilize as mm\rightarrow\infty. We show that the Khovanov homotopy types of (n,m)(n,m) torus links, as constructed by Robert Lipshitz and Sucharit Sarkar, also become s…

Study reveals connection between torus links and logarithmic VOAs.

problem Understanding the relationship between torus links and logarithmic VOAs.
method Proposed a geometric method to compute the singlet character of (s,t)(s,t)-log VOA.
result The singlet character of (s,t)(s,t)-log VOA at the root of unity coincides with the Kashaev invariant and exhibits quantum modularity.

Symmetric function LM,NL_{M,N} lifts torus link homology.

problem Computing the triply-graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of torus links.
method Defined a symmetric function LM,NL_{M,N} and showed it satisfies a recursion for torus link homology.
result Triply-graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of torus links is a specialization of LM,NL_{M,N}.

This paper defines ribbons and ribbon complexes in CW spaces and analyzes their topological properties.

result Characterization of ribbons and ribbon nerves by Betti numbers and homotopy types.

This article is about a natural distance function induced by smooth cobordisms between links. We show that the cobordism distance of torus links is determined by the profiles of their signature functions, up to a constant factor.

We show that the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of the torus link Tn,kT_{n,k} stablizes as kk\to \infty. We explicitly compute the stable homology (as a ring), which proves a conjecture of Gorsky-Oblomkov-Rasmussen-Shende. To accomplish this, we construct complexes PnP_n of Soergel bimodules which categorify t…

We study the ribbon discs that arise from a symmetric union presentation of a ribbon knot. A natural notion of symmetric ribbon number is introduced and compared with the classical ribbon number. We show that the gap between these numbers can be arbitrarily large by constructing an infinite family of ribbon knots with …
