Related papers: Some knots with surgeries yielding lens spaces
We present new families of examples of non-simple prime Legendrian and transversal knots in tight Lens spaces, which demonstrate that the botany of Legendrians in Lens space is rich. In fact, there are more non-isotopic Legendrians that are…
This paper was withdrawn as Lemma 2 is incorrect.
This manuscript, a revised version of arXiv:0811.3168v1, was inadvertently submitted as a separate paper. It can now be accessed, including some final corrections for the published version, as arXiv:0811.3168v2.
This is a survey paper on algorithms for solving problems in 3-dimensional topology. In particular, it discusses Haken's approach to the recognition of the unknot, and recent variations.
Was paper 839 in the author's list until winter 2023 when it was divided into three. Part I: We would like to generalize imaginary elements, weight of ortp$(a,M,N), {\mathbf P}$-weight, ${\mathbf P}$-simple types, etc. from [She90, Ch.…
In the previous three papers in this series, [WKO1]-[WKO3] (arXiv:1405.1956, arXiv:1405.1955, and to appear), Z. Dancso and I studied a certain theory of "homomorphic expansions" of "w-knotted objects", a certain class of knotted objects in…
The purpose of this new survey paper is, among other things, to collect in one place most of the articles on cone (abstract, K-metric) spaces, published after 2007. This list can be useful to young researchers trying to work in this part of…
Following the classification of genus one fibered knots in lens spaces by Baker, we determine hyperbolic genus one fibered knots in lens spaces on whose all integral Dehn surgeries yield closed 3-manifolds with left-orderable fundamental…
(Original version of PhD thesis, submitted in Spring 2009 to Harvard University. Provides a solution of the $p > k^2$ case, corresponding to Berge families I-VI, of the "Lens space realization problem" later solved in entirety by Greene.)…
It it known that the set of L-space surgeries on a nontrivial L-space knot is always bounded from below. However, already for two-component torus links the set of L-space surgeries might be unbounded from below. For algebraic two-component…
We introduce new topological quantum invariants of compact oriented 3-manifolds with boundary where the boundary is a disjoint union of two identical surfaces. The invariants are constructed via surgery on manifolds of the form $F \times I$…
This paper has been withdraw by the authors. An enlarged and complete analysis of the constraints is presented in hep-th/9910163. It includes also relativistic particles and strings. The non-relativistic particle quantization has been…
This work develops some technology for accessing the loop expansion of the Kontsevich integral of a knot. The setting is an application of the LMO invariant to certain surgery presentations of knots by framed links in the solid torus. A…
Major changes in Sec. II (with much stronger estimates), minor changes in remaining sections, a new title. Deleted Appendix, added 2 new references.
This is the draft version of a review paper which is going to appear in "Advances in Imaging and Electron Physics"
We explore the reconstruction of the gravitational lensing field of the cosmic microwave background in real space showing that very little statistical information is lost when estimators of short range on the celestial sphere are used in…
The contents of this manuscript has been moved to hep-ph/0412204.
Specularities are numerous in endoscopic images. They occur as many white small elliptic spots, which are generally ruled out as nuisance in image analysis and computer vision methods. Instead, we propose to use specularities as cues for 3D…
Shape reconstruction from imaging volumes is a recurring need in medical image analysis. Common workflows start with a segmentation step, followed by careful post-processing and,finally, ad hoc meshing algorithms. As this sequence can be…
