On slice knots in the complex projective plane.

Akira Yasuhara (1992)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Similarity:

We investigate the knots in the boundary of the punctured complex projective plane. Our result gives an affirmative answer to a question raised by Suzuki. As an application, we answer to a question by Mathieu.

Lissajous knots and billiard knots

Vaughan Jones, Józef Przytycki (1998)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We show that Lissajous knots are equivalent to billiard knots in a cube. We consider also knots in general 3-dimensional billiard tables. We analyse symmetry of knots in billiard tables and show in particular that the Alexander polynomial of a Lissajous knot is a square modulo 2.
