Multivariate Alexander colorings

On the Kauffman-Harary conjecture for Alexander quandle colorings

The Kauffman-Harary conjecture is a conjecture for Fox’s colorings of alternating knots with prime determinants. We consider a conjecture for Alexander quandle colorings by referring to the Kauffman-Harary conjecture. We prove that this new conjecture is true for twist knots.

A Diagrammatic Multivariate Alexander Invariant of Tangles

Recently, Bigelow defined a diagrammatic method for calculating the Alexander polynomial of a knot or link by resolving crossings in a planar algebra. I will present my multivariate version of Bigelow’s calculation. The advantage to my algorithm is that it generalizes to a multivariate tangle invariant up to Reidemeister I. I will conclude with a possible link to subfactor planar algebras from ...

Break Detection in the Covariance Structure of Multivariate Time Series Models1 by Alexander Aue,

In this paper, we introduce an asymptotic test procedure to assess the stability of volatilities and cross-volatilites of linear and nonlinear multivariate time series models. The test is very flexible as it can be applied, for example, to many of the multivariate GARCH models established in the literature, and also works well in the case of high dimensionality of the underlying data. Since it ...
