In this report, I will start by first giving a brief introduction on knots to build some intuition before beginning the more rigorous review in the Literature Review section. There, I will define knot equivalence, the Jones polynomial…

In this paper, we introduce a new nontrivial filtration, called F-order, for classical and virtual knot invariants; this filtration produces filtered knot invariants, which are called finite type invariants similar to Vassiliev knot…

The purpose of this paper is to study geometrically simply-connected homotopy 4-spheres by analyzing $n$-component links with a Dehn surgery realizing $\#^n(S^1\times S^2)$. We call such links $n$R-links. Our main result is that a homotopy…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\pi(G)=\{p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_k\}$ be the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ for which $p_1<p_2<\cdots<p_k$. The Gruenberg-Kegel graph of $G$, denoted ${\rm GK}(G)$, is defined as follows: its vertex set is…

The generalized $k$-connectivity $\kappa_k(G)$ of a graph $G$ was introduced by Chartrand et al. in 1984, which is a nice generalization of the classical connectivity. Recently, as a natural counterpart, Li et al. proposed the concept of…

A gordian unlink is a finite number of unknots that are not topologically linked, each with prescribed length and thickness, and that cannot be disentangled into the trivial link by an isotopy preserving length and thickness throughout. In…

Distinct knots K, K' can sometimes share a common p/q-framed Dehn surgery. A folk conjecture held that for a fixed pair of knots, this can occur for at most one value of p/q. We disprove this conjecture by constructing pairs of distinct…

This paper introduces the concept of slender generalized groups, extending the classical notion of slender abelian groups to the setting of generalized groups (completely simple semigroups). We establish fundamental properties of slender…

We prove that if a finite group $G$ contains a conjugacy class $K$ whose square is of the form $1 \cup D$, where $D$ is a conjugacy class of $G$, then $\langle K \rangle$ is a solvable proper normal subgroup of $G$ and we completely…

We introduce what we call `generalized higher rank $k$-graphs' as a class of categories equipped with a notion of size. They extend not only the higher rank $k$-graphs, but also the Levi categories introduced by the first author as a…

For any virtual link, a class of new links can be defined called stacks, in which copies of the virtual link are placed on top of one another. The resulting virtual link depends only on the virtual isotopy class of the original link, and…

The first example of a quantum group was introduced by P.~Kulish and N.~Reshetikhin. In their paper "Quantum linear problem for the sine-Gordon equation and higher representations" published in Zap. Nauchn. Sem. LOMI, 1981, Volume 101…

This paper deals with combinatorial aspects of finite covers of groups by cosets or subgroups. Let $a_1G_1,...,a_kG_k$ be left cosets in a group $G$ such that ${a_iG_i}_{i=1}^k$ covers each element of $G$ at least $m$ times but none of its…

In 2014 Andrey Perfiliev introduced the so-called electric invariant for non-oriented knots. This invariant was motivated by using Kirchhoff's laws for the dual graph of the knot diagram. Later, in 2020, Anastasiya Galkina generalised this…

A non-trivial element of a group is a generalized torsion element if some products of its conjugates is the identity. The minimum number of such conjugates is called a generalized torsion order. We provide several restrictions for…

Let $d \geq 1$, $k \geq 2$ and $n\geq d+1$ be integers. A $d$-dimensional smooth complex algebraic variety $M$ is called a generalized Fermat variety of type $(d;k,n)$ if there is a Galois holomorphic branched covering $\pi:M \to {\mathbb…

The problem of classification of Legendrian knots (links) up to isotopy in the class of Legendrian embeddings (Legendrian isotopy) naturally leads to the following two subproblems. The first of them is: which combinations of the three…

In 1997, T. Cochran, K. Orr, and P. Teichner defined a filtration {F_n} of the classical knot concordance group C. The filtration is important because of its strong connection to the classification of topological 4-manifolds. Here we…

This survey explores knot polynomials and their categorification, culminating in the homological invariants of knots. We begin with an overview of classical knot polynomials, progressing towards the superpolynomial and its role in unifying…

We discuss the fundamental (relative) 3-classes of knots (or hyperbolic links), and provide diagrammatic descriptions of the push-forwards with respect to every link-group representation. The point is an observation of a bridge between the…
