A lattice of finite-type invariants of virtual knots

Micah W. Chrisman (2014)

Banach Center Publications

We construct an infinite commutative lattice of groups whose dual spaces give Kauffman finite-type invariants of long virtual knots. The lattice is based "horizontally" upon the Polyak algebra and extended "vertically" using Manturov's functorial map f. For each n, the n-th vertical line in the lattice contains an infinite-dimensional subspace of Kauffman finite-type invariants of degree n. Moreover, the lattice contains infinitely many inequivalent extensions of the Conway polynomial to long virtual...

A new proof of Markov's braid theorem

Paweł Traczyk (1998)

Banach Center Publications

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new proof of Markov's braid theorem, in terms of Seifert circles and Reidemeister moves. This means that the proof will be of combinatorial and essentially 2-dimensional nature. One characteristic feature of our approach is that nowhere in the proof will we use or refer to the braid axis. This allows for greater flexibility in various transformations of the diagrams considered. Other proofs of Markov's theorem can be found in [2], [3], [4] and [5].

A Note on the Rational Cuspidal Curves

Piotr Nayar, Barbara Pilat (2014)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

In this short note we give an elementary combinatorial argument, showing that the conjecture of J. Fernández de Bobadilla, I. Luengo-Velasco, A. Melle-Hernández and A. Némethi [Proc. London Math. Soc. 92 (2006), 99-138, Conjecture 1] follows from Theorem 5.4 of Brodzik and Livingston [arXiv:1304.1062] in the case of rational cuspidal curves with two critical points.

A note on unlinking numbers of Montesinos links.

K. Motegi (1996)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Let K (resp. L) be a Montesinos knot (resp. link) with at least four branches. Then we show the unknotting number (resp. unlinking number) of K (resp. L) is greater than 1.
