2 00 7 Thistlethwaite ’ S Theorem for Virtual Links

نویسنده

  • JEREMY VOLTZ
چکیده

The celebrated Thistlethwaite theorem relates the Jones polynomial of a link with the Tutte polynomial of the corresponding planar graph. We give a generalization of this theorem to virtual links. In this case, the graph will be embedded into a (higher genus) surface. For such graphs we use the generalization of the Tutte polynomial discovered by B. Bollobás and O. Riordan.

2 00 4 Virtual Braids

Just as classical knots and links can be represented by the closures of braids, so can virtual knots and links be represented by the closures of virtual braids [17]. Virtual braids have a group structure that can be described by generators and relations, generalizing the generators and relations of the classical braid group. This structure of virtual braids is worth study for its own sake. The ...

We present a short proof of the following Pontryagin theorem, whose original proof was complicated and has never been published in details: Theorem. Let M be a connected oriented closed smooth 3-manifold. Let L1(M) be the set of framed links in M up to a framed cobordism. Let deg : L1(M) → H1(M ;Z) be the map taking a framed link to its homology class. Then for each α ∈ H1(M ;Z) there is a 1-1 ...

A Coinductive Formulation of the \coinduction Theorem" by Michael and Appel

1 Inductive Treatment of Safety In MA00] Neophytos G. Michael and Andrew W. Appel introduce machine safety for a transition relation 7 ! on the set of machine states S as follows: Safe(s) :() 8s 0 : s 7 ! s 0) 9s 00 : s 0 7 ! s 00 This expresses that a state is safe if after a nite number of transitions starting from this state there is still one more possible transition. Given an invariant Inv...
