11 results for “three-genus”
We describe an example of a closed orientable 3-manifold with distinct distance three genus two Heegaard splittings. This demonstrates that the constructions of alternate genus two Heegaard splittings of closed orientable 3-manifolds described by Rubinstein and Scharlemann in their 1998 paper Genus Two Heegaard Splitti…
Study compares nonorientable genus values of torus knots.
problem Comparing nonorientable genus values of torus knots.
method Examined torus knots T(p,q) with p even, q odd, and calculated differences in nonorientable three and four genus values.
result The difference between nonorientable three and four genus values on torus knots T(p,q) grows arbitrarily large for any fixed odd q, as p ranges over values of a fixed congruence class modulo q.
We provide linear lower bounds for the signature of positive braids in terms of the three genus of their braid closure. This yields linear bounds for the topological slice genus of knots that arise as closures of positive braids.
The Stable Concordance Genusmath.GT
The concordance genus of a knot is the least genus of any knot in its concordance class. Although difficult to compute, it is a useful invariant that highlights the distinction between the three-genus and four-genus. In this paper we define and discuss the stable concordance genus of a knot, which describes the behavio…
The study computes invariants of satellite knots using bordered Floer homology.
problem Computing invariants of satellite knots with specific patterns.
method Using bordered Floer homology and the immersed curve interpretation of the bordered pairing theorem.
result Satellites with thin fibered companions or specific patterns have thin knot Floer homology.
The concordance genus of a knot K is the minimum three-genus among all knots concordant to K. For prime knots of 10 or fewer crossings there have been three knots for which the concordance genus was unknown. Those three cases are now resolved. Two of the cases are settled using invariants of Levine's algebraic concorda…
The flat plumbing basket presentation of a link is introduced by Furihata, Hirasawa and Kobayashi. In this paper, we show that the pass-equivalence and an equivalence introduced by using the flat plumbing basket presentation are the same relation. Furthermore, we obtain an evaluation of the minimal number of bands used…
We provide the optimal linear bound for the signature of positive four-braids in terms of the three-genus of their closures. As a consequence, we improve previously known linear bounds for the signature in terms of the first Betti number for all positive braid links. We obtain our results by combining bounds for positi…
An oriented link is positive if it has a link diagram whose crossings are all positive. An oriented link is almost positive if it is not positive and has a link diagram with exactly one negative crossing. It is known that the Rasmussen invariant, -genus and -genus of a positive knot are equal. In this paper, we p…
A derivative of an algebraically slice knot is an oriented link disjointly embedded in a Seifert surface of such that its homology class forms a basis for a metabolizer of . We show that for a genus three algebraically slice knot , the set $\{ \barμ_{\{γ_1,γ_2,γ_3\}}(123) - \barμ_{\{γ'_1,γ'_2,γ'_3\}}(…
