Cyclic branched coverings of 2-bridge knots.

Alberto Cavicchioli, Beatrice Ruini, Fulvia Spaggiari (1999)

Revista Matemática Complutense

Similarity:

In this paper we study the connections between cyclic presentations of groups and the fundamental group of cyclic branched coverings of 2-bridge knots. Then we show that the topology of these manifolds (and knots) arises, in a natural way, from the algebraic properties of such presentations.

Torus knots that cannot be untied by twisting.

Mohamed Ait Nouh, Akira Yasuhara (2001)

Revista Matemática Complutense

Similarity:

We give a necessary condition for a torus knot to be untied by a single twisting. By using this result, we give infinitely many torus knots that cannot be untied by a single twisting.

Virtual knot theory-unsolved problems

Roger Fenn, Louis H. Kauffman, Vassily O. Manturov (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The present paper gives a quick survey of virtual and classical knot theory and presents a list of unsolved problems about virtual knots and links. These are all problems in low-dimensional topology with a special emphasis on virtual knots. In particular, we touch new approaches to knot invariants such as biquandles and Khovanov homology theory. Connections to other geometrical and combinatorial aspects are also discussed.

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.
