The classification of partially symmetric 3-braid links

Alexander Stoimenov (2015)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We classify 3-braid links which are amphicheiral as unoriented links, including a new proof of Birman- Menasco’s result for the (orientedly) amphicheiral 3-braid links. Then we classify the partially invertible 3-braid links.

Brunnian links

Paul Gartside, Sina Greenwood (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

A Brunnian link is a set of n linked loops such that every proper sublink is trivial. Simple Brunnian links have a natural algebraic representation. This is used to determine the form, length and number of minimal simple Brunnian links. Braids are used to investigate when two algebraic words represent equivalent simple Brunnian links that differ only in the arrangement of the component loops.
