Let Θ denote the class of essential tori in a closed braid complement which admit a standard tiling in the sense of Birman and Menasco [Birman J.S., Menasco W.W., Special positions for essential tori in link complements, Topology, 1994, 33(3), 525–556]. Moreover, let R denote the class of thin tiled tori in the sense of Ng [Ng K.Y., Essential tori in link complements, J. Knot Theory Ramifications, 1998, 7(2), 205–216]. We define the subclass B ⊂ Θ of typical tiled tori and show that R ⊂ B. We also...

We study universal properties of random knotting by making an extensive use of isotopy invariants of knots. We define knotting probability () by the probability of an N-noded random polygon being topologically equivalent to a given knot K. The question is the following: for a given model of random polygon how the knotting probability changes with respect to the number N of polygonal nodes? Through numerical simulation we see that the knotting probability can be expressed by a simple function of...

The following problem is investigated: «Find an elementary function such that if is a knot diagram with crossings and the corresponding knot is trivial, then there is a sequence of Reidemeister moves that proves triviality such that at each step we have less than crossings». The problem is shown to be equivalent to a problem posed by D. Welsh in [7] and solved by geometrical techniques (normal surfaces).
