The M\"{o}bius energy, defined by O'Hara, is one of the knot energies, and named after the M\"{o}bius invariant property which was shown by Freedman-He-Wang. The energy can be decomposed into three parts, each of which is M\"{o}bius…

In this short article, we extend the cosine formula for the M\"{o}bius energy to generalized O'Hara energies. The newly derived formula gives us a condition for which the right circle minimizes the energy under the length-constraint.…

We considered random discrete approximation of O'Hara energy. O'Hara energy is the energy defined for a knot, and O'Hara energy was introduced for defining the standard shape for each knot class (equivalence class by ambient isotopy) by…

We introduce a new discretization of O'Hara's M\"obius energy. In contrast to the known discretizations of Simon and Kim and Kusner it is invariant under M\"obius transformations of the surrounding space. The starting point for this new…

O'Hara's energies, introduced by Jun O'Hara, were proposed to answer the question of what is the canonical shape in a given knot type, and were configured so that the less the energy value of a knot is, the "better" its shape is. The…

The O'Hara energies, introduced by Jun O'Hara in 1991, were proposed to answer the question of what is a "good" figure in a given knot type. A property of the O'Hara energies is that the "better" the figure of a knot is, the less the energy…

We develop a regularity theory for extremal knots of scale invariant knot energies defined by J. O'hara in 1991. This class contains as a special case the M\"obius energy. For the M\"obius energy, due to the celebrated work of Freedman, He,…

A physically natural potential energy for simple closed curves in $\bold R^3$ is shown to be invariant under M\"obius transformations. This leads to the rapid resolution of several open problems: round circles are precisely the absolute…

In this paper, we propose a discrete version of O'Hara's knot energy defined on polygons embedded in the Euclid space. It is shown that values of the discrete energy of polygons inscribing the curve which has bounded O'Hara's energy…

We introduce and begin the study of new knot energies defined on knot diagrams. Physically, they model the internal energy of thin metallic solid tori squeezed between two parallel planes. Thus the knots considered can perform the second…

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…

The present chapter gives an overview on results for discrete knot energies. These discrete energies are designed to make swift numerical computations and thus open the field to computational methods. Additionally, they provide an…

We identify the kinks of a deformed O(3) linear Sigma model as the solutions of a set of first-order systems of equations; the above model is a generalization of the MSTB model with a three-component scalar field. Taking into account…

Conformally invariant functionals on the space of knots are introduced via extrinsic conformal geometry of the knot and integral geometry on the space of spheres. Our functionals are expressed in terms of a complex-valued 2-form which can…

Second-order structured deformations of continua provide an extension of the multiscale geometry of first-order structured deformations by taking into account the effects of submacroscopic bending and curving. We derive here an integral…

This is a survey article on two topics. The Energy E of knots can be obtained by generalizing an electrostatic energy of charged knots in order to produce optimal knots. It turns out to be invariant under Moebius transformations. We show…

The quantization of the kinetic energy of a deformed nucleus in curvilinear coordinates in the case of octupole oscillations of its surface firstly has been carried out. The obtained form of the Hamiltonian differs from the previously…

A new type of knot energy is presented via real life experiments involving a thin resilient metallic tube. Knotted in different ways, the device mechanically acquires a uniquely determined (up to isometry) normal form at least when the…

The total energy is a fundamental characteristic of solids, molecules, and nanostructures. In most first-principles calculations of the total energy, the nuclear kinetic operator is decoupled from the many-body electronic Hamiltonian and…

We define a new class of knot energies (known as renormalization energies) and prove that a broad class of these energies are uniquely minimized by the round circle. Most of O'Hara's knot energies belong to this class. This proves two…
