We derive a linear estimate of the signature of positive knots, in terms of their genus. As an application, we show that every knot concordance class contains at most finitely many positive knots.

Conjecture $\mathbb{Z}$ is a knot theoretical equivalent form of the Kervaire Conjecture. We say that a knot have property $\mathbb{Z}$ if it satisfies Conjecture $\mathbb{Z}$ for that specific knot. In this work, we show that alternating…

The list of knots with up to 10 crossings is commonly referred to as the Rolfsen Table. This paper presents a way to generate the Rolfsen table in a simple, clear, and reproducible manner. The methods we use are similar to those used by J.…

We introduce the warping matrix which is a new description of oriented knots from a viewpoint of warping degree.

I briefly review the numerical evidence, some old and some quite recent, in favor of the center vortex theory of confinement.

The vertex distortion of a lattice knot is the supremum of the ratio of the distance between a pair of vertices along the knot and their distance in the l1-norm. We show analogous results to those of Gromov, Pardon and…

This is a review of current black-hole theory, concentrating on local, dynamical aspects.

Twisted torus knots are a generalization of torus knots, obtained by introducing additional full twists to adjacent strands of the torus knots. In this article, we present an explicit formula for the Alexander polynomial of twisted torus…

We classify closed 3-braids which are L-space knots.

Extensive rewrite. Tables and proofs have been reformatted and/or rewritten for clarity.

In this short paper, we explore relationship between various models of complex networks with pinning controllers.

A short review of the recent results and models of complex networks.

This note gives an informal overview of the proof in our paper "Borel Conjecture and Dual Borel Conjecture", see arXiv:1105.0823.

Torus knots are an important family of knots about which much is understood; invariants of torus knots often exhibit nice formulas, making them convenient and fundamental building blocks for examples in knot theory. Spiral knots, defined…

The paper deals with topologically trivial Legendrian knots in tight and overtwisted contact 3-manifolds. The first part contains a thorough exposition of the proof of the classification of topologically trivial Legendrian knots (i.e.…

A review of Finite Gap Jacobi Matrices.

We introduce an alternative stratification of knots: by the size of lattice on which a knot can be first met. Using this classification, we find ratio of unknots and knots with more than 10 minimal crossings inside different lattices and…

The genus of knots is a one of the fundamental invariant and can be seen as a complexity of knots. In this paper, we give a lower bound of genus using Dehornoy floor, which is a measure of complexity of braids in terms of braid ordering.

Optical vortices generically arise when optical beams are combined. Recently, we reported how several laser beams containing optical vortices could be combined to form optical vortex loops, links and knots embedded in a light beam (Leach et…

Minimizing the bending energy within knot classes leads to the concept of elastic knots which has been initiated in [von der Mosel, Asymptot. Anal. 1998]. Motivated by numerical experiments in arxiv:1804.02206 (doi:10.1090/mcom/3633) we…
