The Alexander polynomial in several variables is defined for links in three-dimensional homology spheres, in particular, in the Poincar\'e sphere: the intersection of the surface $S=\{(z_1,z_2,z_3)\in {\mathbb C}^3: z_1^5+z_2^3+z_3^2=0\}$…
We present a new link invariant which depends on a representation of the link group in SO(3). The computer calculations indicate that an abelian version of this invariant is expressed in terms of the Alexander polynomial of the link. On the…
We define combinatorial invariants of Legendrian and transverse links in universally tight lens spaces using grid diagrams, generalizing [OST08] and prove that they are equivalent to the invariants defined in [BVVV13] and [LOSS09]. We use…
We generalized the periodic links to \emph{transitive} links in a $3$-manifold $M$. We find a complete classification theorem of transitive links in a $3$-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{R}^3$. We study these links from several different…
In this note, we first classify all topological torus knots lying on the Heegaard torus in lens spaces, and then we study Legendrian representatives of these knots. We classify oriented positive Legendrian torus knots in the universally…
The classical analogy between knots and primes motivates the study of Alexander polynomials through an arithmetic perspective. In this article we study the two-parameter family of torus knots and links $T_{p,q}$ and analyze the asymptotic…
Hedden defined two knots in each lens space that, through analogies with their knot Floer homology and doubly pointed Heegaard diagrams of genus one, may be viewed as generalizations of the two trefoils in S^3. Rasmussen shows that when the…
We formulate the holographic principle for knots and links. For the "space" of all knots and links, torus knots T(2m+1,2) and torus links L(2m,2) play the role of the "boundary" of this space. Using the holographic principle, we find the…
We determine the lens spaces that arise by integer Dehn surgery along a knot in the three-sphere. Specifically, if surgery along a knot produces a lens space, then there exists an equivalent surgery along a Berge knot with the same knot…
We prove that every lens space contains a genus one homologically fibered knot, which is contrast to the fact that some lens spaces contain no genus one fibered knot. In the proof, the Chebotarev density theorem and binary quadratic forms…
Tied links in $S^3$ were introduced by Aicardi and Juyumaya as standard links in $S^3$ equipped with some non-embedded arcs, called {\it ties}, joining some components of the link. Tied links in the Solid Torus were then naturally…
A regular fiber of the Seifert fibering of the Poincar\'e homology sphere admits a Dehn surgery to $L(2,1)\#L(3,2)\#L(5,4)$. We prove that this is the only knot in the Poincar\'e homology sphere with a surgery to a connected sum of more…
We show that any 3-dimensional homotopy lens space M^3 that is simple-homotopy equivalent to a lens space L(p,q) is topologically s-cobordant to the lens space. It follows that M has the same multi-signature as L(p,q) and the action of…
In this paper, we establish a connection between Apollonian packings and knot theory. We introduce new representations of links realized in the tangency graph of the regular crystallographic sphere packings. Particularly, we prove that any…
In this study, we use a correspondence between two-periodic weft-knitted textiles and links in the thickened torus to study the former using link invariants. We establish a criterion to identify the set of links whose elements are realized…
Triple linking numbers were defined for 3-component oriented surface-links in 4-space using signed triple points on projections in 3-space. In this paper we give an algebraic formulation using intersections of homology classes (or cup…
We write a formula for the LMO invariant of a rational homology sphere presented as a rational surgery on a link in S^3. Our main tool is a careful use of the Aarhus integral and the (now proven) "Wheels" and "Wheeling" conjectures of B-N,…
The aim of this paper is to realise the techniques of picture-valued invariants and invariants valued in free groups for long knots in the full torus. Such knots and links are of a particular interest because of their relation to Legendrian…
The main theorem characterizes all Legendrian negative torus knots in universally tight lens space in the sense of coarse equivalence. Together with Onaran's results on Legendrian positive torus knots, all Legendrian torus knots in…
In this article Ehrhart quasi-polynomials of simplices are employed to determine isospectral lens spaces in terms of a finite set of numbers. Using the natural lattice associated with a lens space the associated toric variety of a lens…
