We show that if a braid $B$ can be parametrised in a certain way, then previous work can be extended to a construction of a polynomial $f:\mathbb{R}^4\to\mathbb{R}^2$ with the closure of $B$ as the link of an isolated singularity of $f$,…
Let $g_t$ be a loop in the space of monic complex polynomials in one variable of fixed degree $n$. If the roots of $g_t$ are distinct for all $t$, they form a braid $B_1$ on $n$ strands. Likewise, if the critical points of $g_t$ are…
We construct an infinite tower of covering spaces over the configuration space of $n-1$ distinct non-zero points in the complex plane. This results in an action of the braid group $\mathbb{B}_n$ on the set of $n$-adic integers…
We use the Birman-Ko-Lee presentation of the braid group to show that all closures of strongly quasipositive braids whose normal form contains a positive power of the dual Garside element $\delta$ are fibered. We classify links which admit…
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…
We show that 3-braid links with given (non-zero) Alexander or Jones polynomial are finitely many, and can be effectively determined. We classify among closed 3-braids strongly quasipositive and fibered ones, and show that 3-braid links have…
We show that there are only finitely many homogeneous links whose Conway polynomial has any given degree. Using this we give an example of an inhomogeneous, fibred knot. Secondly, we show how to compute the monodromy of a homogeneous link…
In this paper we construct new classes of mixed singularities that provide realizations of real algebraic links in the $3$-sphere. Classifications and characterizations of real algebraic links are still open. These new classes of mixed…
A real algebraic link in the 3-sphere is defined as the zero locus in the 3-sphere of a real algebraic function from $\mathbb{R}^4$ to $\mathbb{R}^2$. A real algebraic open book decomposition on the 3-sphere is by definition the Milnor…
We show that every canonically fibered link in $S^3$ is the binding of a braided open book in $S^3$, addressing a question of Montesinos and Morton. We introduce mutual arc presentations as our main technical tool, which we consider to be…
It is well known that any link can be represented by the closure of a braid. The minimum number of strings needed in a braid whose closure represents a given link is called the braid index of the link and the well known…
In our preceding paper we have introduced the notion of an $s$-homogeneous triple. In this paper we use this technique to study connected $s$-homogeneous algebras with two relations. For such algebras, we describe all possible pairs…
We show that a class of algebras is closed under the taking of homomorphic images and direct products if and only if the class consists of all algebras that satisfy a set of (generally simultaneous) equations. For classes of regular…
T-positive links form a subset of strongly quasipositive links that strictly contains the set of all non-split braid positive links. Analogous to Baader's characterisation of positive links as precisely the strongly quasipositive and…
A digraph is connected-homogeneous if any isomorphism between finite connected induced subdigraphs extends to an automorphism of the digraph. We consider locally-finite connected-homogeneous digraphs with more than one end. In the case that…
We use the skein theory of $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-webs to study the properties of the quantum $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-link polynomial of positive links. We give explicit formulae for the three leading terms of the polynomial on positive links in terms…
We give an explicit description of a fibration of the complement of the closure of a homogeneous braid, understanding how each fiber intersects every cross-section of $S^3$.
It has been conjectured that the algebraic crossing number of a link is uniquely determined in minimal braid representation. This conjecture is true for many classes of knots and links. The Morton-Franks-Williams inequality gives a lower…
To a rational homology sphere graph manifold one can associate a weighted tree invariant called splice diagram. In this article we prove a sufficient numerical condition on the splice diagram for a graph manifold to be a singularity link.…
In \cite{Kim} it is shown that for an oriented surface $S_{g}$ of genus $g$ links in $S_{g} \times S^{1}$ can be presented by virtual diagrams with a decoration, called {\em double lines}. In this paper, first we define braids with double…
