Finite Type Invariants for Knots
We use the Jaco-Shalen and Johannson theory of the characteristic submanifold and the Torus theorem (Gabai, Casson-Jungreis) to develop an intrinsic finite tvne theory for knots in irreducible 3-manifolds. We also establish _ __ a relation between finite type knot invariants in 3-manifolds and these in R3. existence of non-trivial finite type invariants for knots in irreducible 3-manifolds. rig...
متن کاملGauge Theory Invariants, and Surgery on Knots
Paul Kirk* ABSTRACT: Chern-Simons and spectral flow invariants of representations of 3-manifold groups are investigated in the context of Dehn surgery on knots. Various formulae and computational methods are explained, and examples are worked out. The guiding principle is that information about these invariants can be obtained entirely from the representation varieties of the manifolds, i.e. wi...
متن کاملParity, Free Knots, Groups, and Invariants of Finite Type
In this paper, on the basis of the notion of parity introduced recently by the author, for each positive integer m we construct invariants of long virtual knots with values in some simply defined group Gm; conjugacy classes of this group play a role as invariants of compact virtual knots. By construction, each of the invariants is unaltered by the move of virtualization. Factorization of the gr...
متن کاملAlexander Polynomial, Finite Type Invariants and Volume of Hyperbolic Knots
We show that given n > 0, there exists a hyperbolic knot K with trivial Alexander polynomial, trivial finite type invariants of orders ≤ n and such that the volume of the complement of K is larger than n. We compare our result with known results about the relation of hyperbolic volume and Alexander polynomials of alternating knots. We also discuss how our result compares with relations between ...
متن کاملComparing Finite Type Invariants of Knots and Integral Homology
Using elementary counting methods of weight systems for nite type invariants of knots and integral homology 3-spheres, in the spirit of B-NG], we answer positively three questions raised in Ga]. In particular, we exhibit a one-to-one map from the space of nite type invariants of integral homology 3-spheres to the space of nite type invariants of knots in S 3 .
