Quasipositivity and new knot invariants.

Lee Rudolph (1989)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Similarity:

This is a survey (including new results) of relations ?some emergent, others established? among three notions which the 1980s saw introduced into knot theory: quasipositivity of a link, the enhanced Milnor number of a fibered link, and the new link polynomials. The Seifert form fails to determine these invariants; perhaps there exists an ?enhanced Seifert form? which does.

Plane curve singularities and carousels

Lê Dung Tráng (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

In this paper we give a direct and explicit description of the local topological embedding of a plane curve singularity using the Puiseux expansions of its branches in a given set of coordinates.

Reidemeister-type moves for surfaces in four-dimensional space

Dennis Roseman (1998)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We consider smooth knottings of compact (not necessarily orientable) n-dimensional manifolds in ℝ n + 2 (or S n + 2 ), for the cases n=2 or n=3. In a previous paper we have generalized the notion of the Reidemeister moves of classical knot theory. In this paper we examine in more detail the above mentioned dimensions. Examples are given; in particular we examine projections of twist-spun knots. Knot moves are given which demonstrate the triviality of the 1-twist spun trefoil. Another application...
