Knot Invariant

In this paper, we describe a two-dimensional rectangular-cell-complex derived from a surface-knot diagram of a surface-knot. We define a pseudo-cycle for a quandle colored surface-knot diagram. We show that the maximal number of pseudo-cycles is a surface-knot invariant.

Kontsevich’s integral is a knot invariant which contains in itself all knot invariants of finite type, or Vassiliev’s invariants. The value of this integral lies in an algebra A0, spanned by chord diagrams, subject to relations corresponding to the flatness of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation, or the so called infinitesimal pure braid relations [11].

Solvable Lie Algebras

Weight systems are constructed with solvable Lie algebras and their infinite dimensional representations. With a Heisenberg Lie algebra and its polynomial representations, the derived weight system vanishes on Jacobi diagrams with positive loop-degree on a circle, and it is proved that the derived knot invariant is the inverse of the Alexander-Conway polynomial.

AbstractIn this paper, we extend the definition of the SL(2,ℂ) Casson invariant to arbitrary knots K in integral homology 3-spheres and relate it to the m-degree of the Â-polynomial of K. We prove a product formula for the Â-polynomial of the connected sum K1#K2 of two knots in S3 and deduce additivity of the SL(2,ℂ) Casson knot invariant under connected sums for a large class of knots in S3. We also present an example of a nontrivial knot K in S3 with trivial Â-polynomial and trivial SL(2,ℂ) Casson knot invariant, showing that neither of these invariants detect the unknot.

Special Case

We show that the isomorphism problems for left distributive algebras, racks, quandles and kei are as complex as possible in the sense of Borel reducibility. These algebraic structures are important for their connections with the theory of knots, links and braids. In particular, Joyce showed that a quandle can be associated with any knot, and this serves as a complete invariant for tame knots. However, such a classification of tame knots heuristically seemed to be unsatisfactory, due to the apparent difficulty of the quandle isomorphism problem. Our result confirms this view, showing that, from a set-theoretic perspective, classifying tame knots by quandles replaces one problem with (a special case of) a much harder problem.

AbstractIt is known that the Brandt–Lickorish–Millett–Ho polynomial Q contains Casson's knot invariant. Whether there are (essentially) other Vassiliev knot invariants obtainable from Q is an open problem. We show that this is not so up to degree 9. We also give the (apparently) first examples of knots not distinguished by 2-cable HOMFLY polynomials which are not mutants. Our calculations provide evidence of a negative answer to the question whether Vassiliev knot invariants of degree d ≤ 10 are determined by the HOMFLY and Kauffman polynomials and their 2-cables, and for the existence of algebras of such Vassiliev invariants not isomorphic to the algebras of their weight systems.

Insight Into

A new methodology for understanding the construction of dodecahedral links has been developed on the basis of dodecahedron structure and DNA circles. Knots are interlaced cyclic structures while links are at least two cyclic structures mutually interlaced. A new series of DNA dodecahedral links have been given. By assigning an orientation to the links we analyze the knot invariant of these dodecahedral links. This study provides further insight into the molecular design, as well as theoretical characterization of the DNA catenanes.

Difficult Part

The Melvin–Morton conjecture says how the Alexander–Conway knot invariant function can be read from the coloured Jones function. It has been proved by D. Bar-Natan and S. Garoufalidis. They reduced the conjecture to a statement about weight systems. The proof of the latter is the most difficult part of their paper. We give a new proof of the statement based on the Feynman diagram description of the primitive space of the Hopf algebra [Formula: see text] of chord diagrams.
