A Complete Knot Invariant from Contact Homology
We construct an enhanced version of knot contact homology, and show that we can deduce from it the group ring of the knot group together with the peripheral subgroup. In particular, it completely determines a knot up to smooth isotopy. The enhancement consists of the (fully noncommutative) Legendrian contact homology associated to the union of the conormal torus of the knot and a disjoint cotan...
متن کاملEvery Reidemeister Move Is Needed for Each Knot Type
We show that every knot type admits a pair of diagrams that cannot be made identical without using Reidemeister Ω2-moves. We also show that our proof is compatible with known results for the other move types, in the sense that every knot type admits a pair of diagrams that cannot be made identical without using all of the move types.
متن کاملOrdering the Reidemeister moves of a classical knot
Since Reidemeister’s seminal paper on this topic in 1927 [2], there have been a number of steps taken to strengthen the original result in a variety of directions. In 1983, Bruce Trace [3] proved that type 1 moves may be omitted in the case where two knot diagrams have the same winding number and framing. Recent work by Joel Hass and Jeffrey Lagarias [1] has placed a bound on the number of move...
متن کامل3-MANIFOLD KNOT GENUS is NP-complete
One of the central questions in topology is determining whether a given curve is knotted or unknotted. An algorithm to decide this question was given by Haken in 1961, using the technique of normal surfaces. These surfaces are rigid, discretized surfaces, well suited for algorithmic analysis. Any oriented surface without boundary can be obtained from a sphere by adding “handles”. The number of ...
متن کاملThe Rasmussen Invariant of a Homogeneous Knot
A homogeneous knot is a generalization of alternating knots and positive knots. We determine the Rasmussen invariant of a homogeneous knot. This is a new class of knots such that the Rasmussen invariant is explicitly described in terms of its diagrams. As a corollary, we obtain some characterizations of a positive knot. In particular, we recover Baader’s theorem which states that a knot is posi...
