A connect sum formula for the two variable series invariant of a complement of knot is proposed. We provide two kinds of numerical evidence for the proposed formula by examining various torus knots.

A link in $S^{3}$ is a fully positive braid link if it is the closure of a positive braid that contains at least one full-twist. We show that a fully positive braid link is a satellite link if and only if it is the satellite of a fully…

We determine the relationship between the contact structure induced by a fibered knot, K, in the three-sphere and the contact structures induced by its various cables. Understanding this relationship allows us to classify fibered cable…

We prove that the $(2n,1)$-cable of the figure-eight knot is not smoothly slice when $n$ is odd, by using the real Seiberg-Witten Fr{\o}yshov invariant of Konno-Miyazawa-Taniguchi. For the computation, we develop an $O(2)$-equivariant…

We define a concordance invariant, epsilon(K), associated to the knot Floer complex of K, and give a formula for the Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o concordance invariant tau of K_{p,q}, the (p,q)-cable of a knot K, in terms of p, q, tau(K), and…

We automate the process of machine learning correlations between knot invariants. For nearly 200,000 distinct sets of input knot invariants together with an output invariant, we attempt to learn the output invariant by training a neural…

A $(1,1)$-knot in the 3-sphere is a knot that admits a 1-bridge presentation with respect to a Heegaard torus in $\mathbb{S}^{3}$. A new parameterization of $(1,1)$-knots distinct from the classical ones is introduced. This parameterization…

We define counting and cocycle enhancement invariants of virtual knots using parity biquandles. These invariants are determined by pairs consisting of a biquandle 2-cocycle \phi^0 and a map \phi^1 with certain compatibility conditions…

Let $K$ be a nontrivial knot in $S^{3}$ and $t(K)$ its tunnel number. For any $(p\geq 2,q)$-slope in the torus boundary of a closed regular neighborhood of $ K$ in $S^{3}$, denoted by $K^{\star}$, it is a nontrivial cable knot in $S^{3}$.…

The physical 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ theory T[Y] was previously used to predict the existence of some 3-manifold invariants $\hat{Z}_{a}(q)$ that take the form of power series with integer coefficients, converging in the unit disk. Their radial…

A knot invariant is called skein if it is determined by a finite number of skein relations. In the paper we discuss some basic properties of skein invariants and mention some known examples of skein invariants.

We generalize C. Van Cott's results on the $\tau$ and $s$-invariants of cabled knots to apply to general satellite knots. This paper uses no Heegaard-Floer homology, relying on more geometric techniques.

Simple closed curves in the plane can be mapped to nontrivial knots under the action of origami foldings that allow the paper to self-intersect. We show all tame knot types may be produced in this manner, motivating the development of a new…
