We introduce KnotMosaics, a SageMath package for constructing, visualizing, and analyzing knot mosaic diagrams. The package represents an n-mosaic as a matrix of standard tile labels and implements the local connectivity rules needed to…

Mosaic knots, first introduced in 2008 by Lomanoco and Kauffman, have become a useful tool for studying combinatorial invariants of knots and links. In 2020, by considering knot mosaics on $n \times n$ polygons with boundary edge…

Inspired by the paper on quantum knots and knot mosaics [23] and grid diagrams (or arc presentations), used extensively in the computations of Heegaard-Floer knot homology [2,3,7,24], we construct the more concise representation of knot…

This paper contains linear systems of equations which can distinguish knots without knot invariants. Let $M_n$ be the topological moduli space of all n-component string links and such that a fixed projection into the plane is an immersion.…

The concepts of tile number and space-efficiency for knot mosaics were first explored by Heap and Knowles (arXiv:1702.06462), where they determined the possible tile numbers and space-efficient layouts for every prime knot with mosaic…

Wild knots--knots with infinite knotting behavior--have resisted traditional methods of knot classification, making them more of a curiosity in topology than a subject of sustained investigation. In this paper, we present a new way to…

The cryptographic protocol based on topological knot theory,recently proposed by the authors, is improved for what concerns the efficiency of the encoding of knot diagrams and its error robustness. The standard Dowker-Thistlethwaite code,…

We define mosaics, which are naturally in bijection with Knutson-Tao puzzles. We define an operation on mosaics, which shows they are also in bijection with Littlewood-Richardson skew-tableaux. Another consequence of this construction is…

For integers $n,k,s$, we give a formula for the number $T(n,k,s)$ of order $k$ subsets of the ring $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ whose sum of elements is $s$ modulo $n$. To do so, we describe explicitly a sequence of matrices $M(k)$, for…

Let $n$ be any natural number. Let $K$ be any $n$-dimensional knot in $S^{n+2}$. We define a supersymmetric quantum system for $K$ with the following properties. We firstly construct a set of functional spaces (spaces of fermionic \{resp.…

We give an infinite family of knots such that for any given $r \geq 3$, the family contains a knot which can be embedded on a hexagonal $r$-mosaic, but cannot fit on a hexagonal $r$-mosaic in an embedding that achieves its crossing number.…

Using the cubic honeycomb (cubic tessellation) of Euclidean 3-space, we define a quantum system whose states, called quantum knots, represent a closed knotted piece of rope, i.e., represent the particular spatial configuration of a knot…

We consider the notion of mosaic diagrams for surface-links using marked graph diagrams. We establish bounds, in some cases tight, on the mosaic numbers for the surface-links with ch-index up to 10. As an application, we use mosaic diagrams…

This paper proposes the definition of a quantum knot as a linear superposition of classical knots in three dimensional space. The definition is constructed and examples are discussed. Then the paper details extensions and also limitations…

Spin networks, essentially labeled graphs, are ``good quantum numbers'' for the quantum theory of geometry. These structures encompass a diverse range of techniques which may be used in the quantum mechanics of finite dimensional systems,…

This paper formulates a generalization of our work on quantum knots to explain how to make quantum versions of algebraic, combinatorial and topological structures. We include a description of previous work on the construction of Hilbert…

In this paper, we propose a new way to approach qudit systems using toric geometry and related topics including the local mirror symmetry used in the string theory compactification. We refer to such systems as (n,d) quantum systems where…

We investigate relationships between bounds on the crossing number and the mosaic number of mosaic knots.

We introduce and explore the relation between knot invariants and quiver representation theory, which follows from the identification of quiver quantum mechanics in D-brane systems representing knots. We identify various structural…

In [8], K. Kaur, S. Kamada et al. posed a problem of finding a virtual knot, if exists, with an unknotting index (n,m), where (n,m) is a pair of non-negative integers. In this paper, we address this question by providing infinite families…
