We use the knot homology of Khovanov and Lee to construct link concordance invariants generalizing the Rasmussen $s$-invariant of knots. The relevant invariant for a link is a filtration on a vector space of dimension $2^{|L|}$. The basic…
We study the invariant of knots in lens spaces defined from quantum Chern-Simons theory. By means of the knot operator formalism, we derive a generalization of the Rosso-Jones formula for torus knots in L(p,1). In the second part of the…
The cable equation is a second order, parabolic, partial differential equation that describes the evolution of voltage in the dendrite of a neuron. Here we look at the various ways in which lambda(space constant/ variable space…
I follow Y. Yokota to explain how to obtain a tetrahedron decomposition of the complement of a hyperbolic knot and compare it with the asymptotic behavior of Kashaev's link invariant using the figure-eight knot as an example.
Let (K,v) be a henselian valued field. In this paper, we use Okutsu sequences for monic, irreducible polynomials in K[x], and their relationship with MacLane chains of inductive valuations on K[x], to obtain some results on the computation…
We calculate the knot invariant coming from the Teichm\"{u}ller TQFT [AK1]. Specifically we calculate the knot invariant for the complement of the knot $6_1$ both in the original [AK1] and the new formulation of the Teichm\"{u}ller TQFT…
In this paper we present explicit formulas for the *-product on quantum spaces which are of particular importance in physics, i.e., the q-deformed Minkowski space and the q-deformed Euclidean space in 3 and 4 dimensions, respectively. Our…
We introduce topological invariants of knots and braid conjugacy classes, in the form of differential graded algebras, and present an explicit combinatorial formulation for these invariants. The algebras conjecturally give the relative…
As it is well-known, all Vassiliev invariants of degree one of a knot $K\subset R^3$ are trivial. There are nontrivial Vassiliev invariants of degree one, when the ambient space is not $R^3$. Recently, T. Fiedler introduced such invariants…
Kauffman's bracket is an invariant of regular isotopy of knots and links which since its discovery in 1985 it has been used in many different directions: (a) it implies an easy proof of the invariance of (in fact, it is equivalent to) the…
We study the behavior of the degree of the colored Jones polynomial and the boundary slopes of knots under the operation of cabling. We show that, under certain hypothesis on this degree, if a knot $K$ satisfies the Slope Conjecture then a…
We show that a topological quantum computer based on the evaluation of a Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFT invariant of knots can always be arranged so that the knot diagrams with which one computes are diagrams of hyperbolic knots. The…
$(L_p, L_q)$ estimates are obtained for oscillatory potentials $(K^\alphaf)(x)=\int\limits_{R^n}\frac{\exp(i|y|)}{|y|^{n-\alpha}}f(x-y)dy$, $0<\alpha<n$, $n\geq 2$, whose symbol has a singularity on the unit sphere. These potentials are…
We consider the ways in which a 4-tangle T inside a unit cube can be extended outside the cube into a knot or link L. We present two links n(T) and d(T) such that the greatest common divisor of the determinants of these two links always…
We compute the invariants for a class of knots and links in arbitrary representations in $S^3/\mathbb{Z}_p$ in the large $k$ (level), large $N$ (rank) limit, keeping $N/(k+N)=\lambda$ fixed, in $U(N)$ and $Sp(N)$ Chern-Simons theories.…
We investigate the concordance properties of `parallel links' P(K), given by the (2,0) cable of a knot K. We focus on the question: if P(K) is concordant to a split link, is K necessarily slice? We show that if P(K) is smoothly concordant…
We give a condition for a function to produce a M\"obius invariant weighted inner product on the tangent space of the space of knots, and show that some kind of M\"obius invariant knot energies can produce M\"obius invariant and…
The invariant of a link in three-sphere, associated with the cyclic quantum dilogarithm, depends on a natural number $N$. By the analysis of particular examples it is argued that for a hyperbolic knot (link) the absolute value of this…
A permutation-invariant code on m qubits is a subspace of the symmetric subspace of the m qubits. We derive permutation-invariant codes that can encode an increasing amount of quantum information while suppressing leading order spontaneous…
Given a biquandle $(X, S)$, a function $\tau$ with certain compatibility and a pair of {\em non commutative cocyles} $f,h:X \times X\to G$ with values in a non necessarily commutative group $G$, we give an invariant for singular knots /…
