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.

In [12, 15] it was shown that in some knot theories the crucial role is played by parity, i.e. a function on crossings valued in {0,1} and behaving nicely with respect to Reidemeister moves. Any parity allows one to construct functorial mappings from knots to knots, to refine many invariants and to prove minimality theorems for knots. In the present paper, we generalise the notion of parity and construct parities with coefficients from an abelian group rather than ℤ₂ and investigate...

This note is a continuation of a former paper, where we have discussed the unknotting number of knots with respect to knot diagrams. We will show that for every minimum-crossing knot-diagram among all unknotting-number-one two-bridge knot there exist crossings whose exchange yields the trivial knot, if the third Tait conjecture is true.

Using the recent Gauß diagram formulas for Vassiliev invariants of Polyak-Viro-Fiedler and combining these formulas with the Bennequin inequality, we prove several inequalities for positive knots relating their Vassiliev invariants, genus and degrees of the Jones polynomial. As a consequence, we prove that for any of the polynomials of Alexander/Conway, Jones, HOMFLY, Brandt-Lickorish-Millett-Ho and Kauffman there are only finitely many positive knots with the same polynomial and no...

We study numerical and polynomial invariants of piecewise-linear knots, with the goal of better understanding the space of all knots and links. For knots with small numbers of edges we are able to find limits on polynomial or Vassiliev invariants sufficient to determine an exact list of realizable knots. We thus obtain the minimal edge number for all knots with six or fewer crossings. For example, the only knot requiring exactly seven edges is the figure-8 knot.

We describe new approaches for constructing virtual knot invariants. The main background of this paper comes from formulating and bringing together the ideas of biquandle [KR], [FJK], the virtual quandle [Ma2], the ideas of quaternion biquandles by Roger Fenn and Andrew Bartholomew [BF], the concepts and properties of long virtual knots [Ma10], and other ideas in the interface between classical and virtual knot theory. In the present paper we present a new algebraic construction of virtual...
