Ribbonlength and crossing number for folded ribbon knots

نویسندگان

چکیده

We study Kauffman's model of folded ribbon knots: knots made a thin strip paper flat in the plane. The ribbonlength is length to width ratio such knot. show for any knot or link type that there exist constants $c_1, c_2>0$ bounded above by $c_1\cdot Cr(K)^2$, and also $c_2\cdot Cr(K)^{3/2}$. use different method each bound. constant $c_1$ quite small comparison $c_2$, first bound lower than second links with $Cr(K)\leq$ 12,748.

Ribbonlength of folded ribbon unknots in the plane

We study Kauffman’s model of folded ribbon knots: knots made of a thin strip of paper folded flat in the plane. The ribbonlength is the length to width ratio of such a ribbon, and it turns out that the way the ribbon is folded influences the ribbonlength. We give an upper bound of n cot(π/n) for the ribbonlength of n-stick unknots. We prove that the minimum ribbonlength for a 3-stick unknot wit...

On Crossing Number of Knots

The aim of this paper is to endow a monoid structure on the set S of all oriented knots(links) under the operation ⊎ , called addition of knots. Moreover, we prove that there exists a homomorphism of monoids between (Sd, ⊎ ) to (N, +), where Sd is a subset of S with an extra condition and N is the monoid of non negative integers under usual addition.

Triple Crossing Number of Knots and Links

A triple crossing is a crossing in a projection of a knot or link that has three strands of the knot passing straight through it. A triple crossing projection is a projection such that all of the crossings are triple crossings. We prove that every knot and link has a triple crossing projection and then investigate c3(K), which is the minimum number of triple crossings in a projection of K. We o...

The Crossing Number of Composite Knots

One of the most basic questions in knot theory remains unresolved: is crossing number additive under connected sum? In other words, does the equality c(K1♯K2) = c(K1) + c(K2) always hold, where c(K) denotes the crossing number of a knot K and K1♯K2 is the connected sum of two (oriented) knots K1 and K2? The inequality c(K1♯K2) ≤ c(K1) + c(K2) is trivial, but very little more is known in general...

Doubly slice knots with low crossing number

A knot in S is doubly slice if it is the cross-section of an unknotted two-sphere in S. For low-crossing knots, the most complete work to date gives a classification of doubly slice knots through 9 crossings. We extend that work through 12 crossings, resolving all but four cases among the 2,977 prime knots in that range. The techniques involved in this analysis include considerations of the Ale...
