Chewing the Khovanov homology of tangles
We present an elementary description of Khovanov's homology of tangles [K2], in the spirit of Viro's paper [V]. The formulation here is over the polynomial ring ℤ[c], unlike [K2] where the theory was presented over the integers only.

Classification problems in low-dimensional topology
Climbing a Legendrian mountain range without stabilization
We introduce a new braid-theoretic framework with which to understand the Legendrian and transversal classification of knots, namely a Legendrian Markov Theorem without Stabilization which induces an associated transversal Markov Theorem without Stabilization. We establish the existence of a nontrivial knot-type specific Legendrian and transversal MTWS by enhancing the Legendrian mountain range for the (2,3)-cable of a (2,3)-torus knot provided by Etnyre and Honda, and showing that elementary negative...

Cocycle invariants of codimension 2 embeddings of manifolds
We consider the classical problem of a position of n-dimensional manifold Mⁿ in . We show that we can define the fundamental (n+1)-cycle and the shadow fundamental (n+2)-cycle for a fundamental quandle of a knotting . In particular, we show that for any fixed quandle, quandle coloring, and shadow quandle coloring, of a diagram of Mⁿ embedded in we have (n+1)- and (n+2)-(co)cycle invariants (i.e. invariant under Roseman moves).

Combinatorics and topology - François Jaeger's work in knot theory
François Jaeger found a number of beautiful connections between combinatorics and the topology of knots and links, culminating in an intricate relationship between link invariants and the Bose-Mesner algebra of an association scheme. This paper gives an introduction to this connection.
