Trace functions on Iwahori-Hecke algebras

Meinolf Geck (1998)

Banach Center Publications

This paper is an expanded version of a talk given at the Banach Center Symposium on Knot Theory in July/August 1995. Its aim is to provide a general survey about trace functions on Iwahori-Hecke algebras associated with finite Coxeter groups. The so-called Markov traces are relevant to knot theory as they can be used to construct invariants of oriented knots and links. We present a classification of Markov traces for the classical types A, B and D.

Traces, lengths, axes and commensurability

Alan W. Reid (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

The focus of this paper are questions related to how various geometric and analytical properties of hyperbolic 3-manifolds determine the commensurability class of such manifolds. The paper is for the large part a survey of recent work.

Trees of manifolds and boundaries of systolic groups

Paweł Zawiślak (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that the Pontryagin sphere and the Pontryagin nonorientable surface occur as the Gromov boundary of a 7-systolic group acting geometrically on a 7-systolic normal pseudomanifold of dimension 3.

Twisted Alexander polynomials, symplectic 4-manifolds and surfaces of minimal complexity

Stefan Friedl, Stefano Vidussi (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Let M be a 4-manifold which admits a free circle action. We use twisted Alexander polynomials to study the existence of symplectic structures and the minimal complexity of surfaces in M. The results on the existence of symplectic structures summarize previous results of the authors in [FV08a,FV08,FV07]. The results on surfaces of minimal complexity are new.

Twisting and unknotting operations.

Yoshiyuki Ohyama (1994)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We define a twisting move, an (n,k)-move, on a link diagram and consider the question as to whether or not any two links are equivalent by this move. Moreover we show that any knot can be trivialized by at most twice twisting operations.
