In this paper we construct infinitely many wild knots, $\mathbb{S}^{n}\hookrightarrow\mathbb{S}^{n+2}$, for $n=2,3,4$ and 5, each of which is a limit set of a geometrically finite Kleinian group. We also describe some of their properties

We prove that every smooth $n$-dimensional knot in $\mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ can be ambiently isotoped into the Menger $n$-dimensional continuum. In contrast with classical embedding theorems for universal compacta, our construction is explicit…

Starting with a smooth, non-trivial $n$-dimensional knot $K\subset\bS^{n+2}$, and a beaded $n$-dimensional necklace subordinated to $K$, we construct a wild knot with a Cantor set of wild points (\ie the knot is not locally flat in these…

The purpose of this paper is to construct an example of a 2-knot wildly embedded in $\mathbb{S}^{4}$ as the limit set of a Kleinian group. We find that this type of wild 2-knots has very interesting topological properties.

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…

Using a similar random process to the one which yields the fractal percolation sets, starting from the deterministic Menger sponge we get the random Menger sponge. We examine its orthogonal projections from the point of Hausdorff dimension,…

We prove that all knots can be embedded into the Menger Sponge fractal. We prove that all Pretzel knots can be embedded into the Sierpinski Tetrahedron. Then we compare the number of iterations of each of these fractals needed to produce a…

In two-dimensional unfoldings of homoclinic tangencies, the parameter space contains codimension one laminations whose leaves consist of maps with invariant non-hyperbolic Cantor sets. These Cantor sets are wild both in the sense of…

We investigate knot-theoretic properties of geometrically defined curvature energies such as integral Menger curvature. Elementary radii-functions, such as the circumradius of three points, generate a family of knot energies guaranteeing…

It is well known that there exist knots with Seifert surfaces of arbitrarily high genus. In this paper, we show the existence of infinitely many knot exteriors where each of which has longitudinal essential surfaces of any positive genus…

In this paper we consider the Kleinian groups acting conformally on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+2}$ $(1\leq{n}\leq5)$ which have as limit sets wild spheres $K^n$ which were constructed in \cite{BHV} and prove that $K^n$ is ambient…

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…

It is known that every exotic smooth structure on a simply connected closed 4-manifold is determined by a codimention zero compact contractible Stein submanifold and an involution on its boundary. Such a pair is called a cork. In this…

In this paper we study kleinian groups of Schottky type whose limit set is a wild knot in the sense of Artin and Fox. We show that, if the ``original knot'' fibers over the circle then the wild knot $\Lambda$ also fibers over the circle. As…

We show that knots of spin textures can be created in the polar phase of a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate, and discuss experimental schemes for their generation and probe, together with their lifetime.

We show the existence of an infinite collection of hyperbolic knots where each of which has in its exterior meridional essential planar surfaces of arbitrarily large number of boundary components, or, equivalently, that each of these knots…

We construct infinitely many smoothly slice knots having topological slice discs that are non-approximable by smooth slice discs.

Using methods of descriptive theory it is shown that the classification problem for wild knots is strictly harder than that for countable structures.

In this article, we construct infinitley many simply connected, nonsymplectic and pairwise nondiffeomorphic 4-manifolds starting from E(n) and applying the sequence of knot surgery, ordinary blowups and rational blowdown. We also compute…

We prove that each overtwisted contact structure has knot types that are represented by infinitely many distinct transverse knots all with the same self-linking number. In some cases, we can even classify all such knots. We also show…
