Braid Index

A twisted torus knot [Formula: see text] is a torus knot [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] adjacent strands twisted fully [Formula: see text] times. In this paper, we determine the braid index of the knot [Formula: see text] when the parameters [Formula: see text] satisfy [Formula: see text]. If the last parameter [Formula: see text] additionally satisfies [Formula: see text], then we also determine the parameters [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] is a torus knot.

The Relationship

The subject is a localized disturbance in the form of a torus knot of an otherwise featureless continuum. The knot's topologically quantized, self-sustaining nature emerges in an elementary, straightforward way on the basis of a simple geometric model, one that constrains the differential geometric basis it otherwise shares with General Relativity (GR). Two approaches are employed to generate the knot's solitonic nature, one emphasizing basic differential geometry and the other based on a Lagrangian. The relationship to GR is also examined, especially in terms of the formulation of an energy density for the Lagrangian. The emergent knot formalism is used to derive estimates of some measurable quantities for a certain elementary particle model documented in previous publications. Also emerging is the compatibility of the torus knot formalism and, by extension, that of the cited particle model, with general relativity as well as with the Dirac theoretic notion of antiparticles.

Using Kauffman's model of flat knotted ribbons, we demonstrate how all regular polygons of at least seven sides can be realized by ribbon constructions of torus knots. We calculate length to width ratios for these constructions thereby bounding the Ribbonlength of the knots. In particular, we give evidence that the closed (respectively, truncation) Ribbonlength of a (q + 1,q) torus knot is (2q + 1) cot (π/(2q + 1)) (respectively, 2q cot (π/(2q + 1))). Using these calculations, we provide the bounds c1 ≤ 2/π and c2 ≥ 5/3 cot π/5 for the constants c1 and c2 that relate Ribbonlength R(K) and crossing number C(K) in a conjecture of Kusner: c1 C(K) ≤ R(K) ≤ c2 C(K).

AbstractIn this study, we introduce the relationship between the Tutte polynomials and dichromatic polynomials of (2,n)-torus knots. For this aim, firstly we obtain the signed graph of a (2,n)-torus knot, marked with {+} signs, via the regular diagram of its. Whereupon, we compute the Tutte polynomial for this graph and find a generalization through these calculations. Finally we obtain dichromatic polynomial lying under the unmarked states of the signed graph of the (2,n)-torus knots by the generalization.

A twisted torus knot [Formula: see text] is obtained from a torus knot [Formula: see text] by twisting [Formula: see text] adjacent strands of [Formula: see text] fully [Formula: see text] times. In this paper, we determine the parameters [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] is a torus knot with [Formula: see text].

We show that for m and n positive, composite closed orbits realized on the Lorenz-like template L(m, n) have two prime factors, each a torus knot; and that composite closed orbits on L(-1, -1) have either two for three prime factors, two of which are torus knots.

A twisted torus knot is a knot obtained from a torus knot by twisting adjacent strands by full twists. The twisted torus knots lie in [Formula: see text], the genus 2 Heegaard surface for [Formula: see text]. Primitive/primitive and primitive/Seifert knots lie in [Formula: see text] in a particular way. Dean gives sufficient conditions for the parameters of the twisted torus knots to ensure they are primitive/primitive or primitive/Seifert. Using Dean’s conditions, Doleshal shows that there are infinitely many twisted torus knots that are fibered and that there are twisted torus knots with distinct primitive/Seifert representatives with the same slope in [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we extend Doleshal’s results to show there is a four parameter family of positive twisted torus knots. Additionally, we provide new examples of twisted torus knots with distinct representatives with the same surface slope in [Formula: see text].

The fundamental quandles and biquandles are invariants of classical knots and surface knots. It is unknown whether there exist classical or surface knots which have isomorphic fundamental quandles and distinct fundamental biquandles. We show that ribbon 2-knots or ribbon torus-knots with isomorphic fundamental quandles have isomorphic fundamental biquandles. For this purpose, we give a method for obtaining a presentation of the fundamental biquandle of a ribbon 2-knot/torus-knot from its fundamental quandle.

AbstractIn [2] it was conjectured that the coloured Jones function of a framed knot K, or equivalently the Jones polynomials of all parallels of K, is sufficient to determine the Alexander polynomial of K. An explicit formula was proposed in terms of the power series expansion , where JK, k(h) is the SU(2)q quantum invariant of K when coloured by the irreducible module of dimension k, and q = eh is the quantum group parameter.In this paper I show that the explicit formula does give the Alexander polynomial when K is any torus knot.

The Family

A 1-bridge torus knot in a 3-manifold of genus ≤ 1 is a knot drawn on a Heegaard torus with one bridge. We give two types of normal forms to parameterize the family of 1-bridge torus knots that are similar to the Schubert's normal form and the Conway's normal form for 2-bridge knots. For a given Schubert's normal form we give algorithms to determine the number of components and to compute the fundamental group of the complement when the normal form determines a knot. We also give a description of the double branched cover of an ambient 3-manifold branched along a 1-bridge torus knot by using its Conway's normal form and obtain an explicit formula for the first homology of the double cover.
