We consider a diagrammatic approach to investigate tame knots and links in three dimensional torus $T^3$. We obtain a finite set of generalised Reidemeister moves for equivalent links up to ambient isotopy. We give a presentation for…
We give a short introduction to the theory of twisted Alexander polynomials of a 3--manifold associated to a representation of its fundamental group. We summarize their formal properties and we explain their relationship to twisted…
In this article we give combinatorial criteria to decide whether a transitive cyclic combinatorial d-manifold can be generalized to an infinite family of such complexes, together with an explicit construction in the case that such a family…
We prove the existence of a polynomial invariant that satisfies the HOMFLY skein relation for links in a lens space. In the process we also develop a skein theory of toroidal grid diagrams in a lens space.
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 study the existence of branched coverings between closed $3$-manifolds, with emphasis on universal knots and links. We prove that the only closed $3$-manifolds that admit a universal link are spherical. Furthermore, we distinguish…
Let $X$ be a differentiable manifold endowed with a transitive action $\alpha:A\times X\longrightarrow X$ of a Lie group $A$. Let $K$ be a Lie group. Under suitable technical assumptions, we give explicit classification theorems, in terms…
Let $M_1$ and $M_2$ be closed connected orientable $3$-manifolds. We classify the sets of smooth and piecewise linear isotopy classes of embeddings $M_1\sqcup M_2\rightarrow S^6$.
We construct infinite families of non-simple isotopy classes of links in overtwisted contact structures on $S^1$-bundles over surfaces. These examples include: (1) a pair of Legendrian links that are not Legendrian isotopic, but which are…
Diagrams enable the use of various algebraic and geometric tools for analysing and classifying knots. In this paper we introduce a new diagrammatic representation of triply periodic entangled structures (TP tangles), which are embeddings of…
By use of a variety of techniques (most based on constructions of quasipositive knots and links, some old and others new), many smooth 3-manifolds are realized as transverse intersections of complex surfaces in complex 3-space with strictly…
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 $S=\{(z_1,z_2,z_3)\in {\mathbb C}^3: z_1^5+z_2^3+z_3^2=0\}$…
The Reidemeister theorem states that any link in $3$-space can be encoded by a diagram (a suitably decorated projection) on a plane, and provides a finite set of combinatorial moves relating two diagrams of the same link up to isotopy. In…
We extend the results of our previous paper from knots to links by using a formula for the Jones polynomial of a link derived recently by N. Reshetikhin. We illustrate this formula by an example of a torus link. A relation between the…
Knots naturally appear in continuous dynamical systems as flow periodic trajectories. However, discrete dynamical systems are also closely connected with the theory of knots and links. For example, for Pixton diffeomorphisms, the…
A celebrated theorem of Kirby identifies the set of closed oriented connected 3-manifolds with the set of framed links in $S^3$ modulo two moves. We give a similar description for the set of knots (and more generally, boundary links) in…
We define relative versions of the classical invariants of Legendrian and transverse knots in contact 3-manifolds for knots that are homologous to a fixed reference knot. We show these invariants are well-defined and give some basic…
We prove that Legendrian and transverse links in overtwisted contact structures having overtwisted complements can be classified coarsely by their classical invariants. We further prove that any coarse equivalence class of loose links has…
Semiholomorphic polynomials are functions $f:\mathbb{C}^2\to\mathbb{C}$ that can be written as polynomials in complex variables $u$, $v$ and the complex conjugate $\overline{v}$. We prove the semiholomorphic analogoue of Akbulut's and…
The lens space $L_{p,q}$ is the orbit space of a $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-action on the three sphere. We investigate polynomials of two complex variables that are invariant under this action, and thus define links in $L_{p,q}$. We study properties…
