On homogeneous quasipositive links

چکیده
We discuss when homogeneous quasipositive links are positive. In particular, we show that a diagram of link whose number Seifert circles is equal to the braid index positive diagram.

Quasipositive Annuli (constructions of Quasipositive Knots and Links, Iv)
The modulus of quasipositivity q(K) of a knot K was introduced as a tool in the knot theory of complex plane curves, and can be applied to Legendrian knot theory in symplectic topology. It has also, however, a straightforward characterization in ordinary knot theory: q(K) is the supremum of the integers f such that the framed knot (K, f) embeds non-trivially on a fiber surface of a positive tor...
متن کاملPositive links are strongly quasipositive
Let S(D) be the surface produced by applying Seifert’s algorithm to the oriented link diagram D. I prove that if D has no negative crossings then S(D) is a quasipositive Seifert surface, that is, S(D) embeds incompressibly on a fiber surface plumbed from positive Hopf annuli. This result, combined with the truth of the “local Thom Conjecture”, has various interesting consequences; for instance,...
متن کاملA Characterization of Quasipositive Seifert Surfaces (constructions of Quasipositive Knots and Links, Iii) Lee Rudolph
Here, a surface is smooth, compact, oriented, and has no component with empty boundary. A Seifert surface is a surface embedded in S3. A subsurface S of a surface T is full if each simple closed curve on S that bounds a disk on T already bounds a disk on S. The definition of quasipositivity is recalled in §1, after a review of braided surfaces. The “only if” statement of the Characterization Th...
متن کاملLegendrian Graphs and Quasipositive Diagrams
In this paper we clarify the relationship between ribbon surfaces of Legendrian graphs and quasipositive diagrams by using certain fence diagrams. As an application, we give an alternative proof of a theorem concerning a relationship between quasipositive fiber surfaces and contact structures on S. We also answer a question of L. Rudolph concerning moves of quasipositive diagrams.
متن کاملA Note on Vassiliev Invariants of Quasipositive Knots
It has been known that any Alexander polynomial of a knot can be realized by a quasipositive knot. In this paper we prove a generalization of that result: for any oriented knot K and any natural number n there exists a quasipositive knot Q whose Vassiliev invariants of order less than or equal to n coincide with those of K. A quasipositive braid is a product of conjugates of a positive standard...
