چکیده
By work of W. Thurston, knots and links in the 3-sphere are known to either be torus links, or contain an essential their complement, hyperbolic, which case a unique hyperbolic volume can calculated for complement. We employ construction Turaev associate family 3-manifolds finite any classical virtual link, even if non-hyperbolic. These turn used define is minimal among all associated via this construction. In we also volume, projections only. then investigate these new invariants.

Turaev-viro Modules of Satellite Knots
Given an oriented knot K in S and a TQFT, Turaev and Viro defined modules somewhat analogous to the Alexander module. We work with the (Vp, Zp) theories of Blanchet, Habegger, Masbaum and Vogel [BHMV] for p ≥ 3, and consider the associated modules. In [G], we defined modules which also depend on the extra data of a color c which is assigned to a meridian of the knot in the construction of the m...
متن کاملVirtual Knots and Links
This paper is an introduction to the subject of virtual knot theory, combined with a discussion of some specific new theorems about virtual knots. The new results are as follows: We prove, using a 3-dimensional topology approach that if a connected sum of two virtual knots K1 and K2 is trivial, then so are both K1 and K2. We establish an algorithm, using Haken-Matveev technique, for recognizing...
متن کاملGrope Cobordism of Classical Knots
Motivated by the lower central series of a group, we define the notion of a grope cobordism between two knots in a 3-manifold. Just like an iterated group commutator, each grope cobordism has a type that can be described by a rooted unitrivalent tree. By filtering these trees in different ways, we show how the Goussarov-Habiro approach to finite type invariants of knots is closely related to ou...
متن کاملMinimal diagrams of classical knots
We show that if a classical knot diagram satisfies a certain combinatorial condition then it is minimal with respect to the number of classical crossings. This statement is proved by using the Kauffman bracket and the construction of atoms and knots.
متن کاملSemiquandles and flat virtual knots
We introduce an algebraic structure we call semiquandles whose axioms are derived from flat Reidemeister moves. Finite semiquandles have associated counting invariants and enhanced invariants defined for flat virtual knots and links. We also introduce singular semiquandles and virtual singular semiquandles which define invariants of flat singular virtual knots and links. As an application, we u...
