چکیده
We describe a procedure for creating in nite families of knots having unique minimal genus Seifert surface which cannot be the sole compact leaf of a depth one foliation.

On Knots with Trivial Alexander Polynomial
We use the 2-loop term of the Kontsevich integral to show that there are (many) knots with trivial Alexander polynomial which don’t have a Seifert surface whose genus equals the rank of the Seifert form. This is one of the first applications of the Kontsevich integral to intrinsically 3-dimensional questions in topology. Our examples contradict a lemma of Mike Freedman, and we explain what went...
متن کاملKNOTS OF GENUS ONE Or on the number of alternating knots of given genus
We prove that any non-hyperbolic genus one knot except the trefoil does not have a minimal canonical Seifert surface and that there are only polynomially many in the crossing number positive knots of given genus or given unknotting number.
متن کاملCounting simple knots via arithmetic invariants
Knot theory and arithmetic invariant theory are two fields of mathematics that rely on algebraic invariants. We investigate the connections between the two, and give a framework for addressing asymptotic counting questions relating to knots and knot invariants. We study invariants of simple (2q − 1)-knots when q is odd; these include the Alexander module and Blanchfield pairing. In the case tha...
متن کاملMinimal Seifert manifolds for higher ribbon knots
We show that a group presented by a labelled oriented tree presentation in which the tree has diameter at most three is an HNN extension of a finitely presented group. From results of Silver, it then follows that the corresponding higher dimensional ribbon knots admit minimal Seifert manifolds. AMS Classification 57Q45; 20E06, 20F05, 57M05
متن کاملCobordism of disk knots
We study cobordisms and cobordisms rel boundary of PL locally-flat disk knots Dn−2 ↪→ Dn. Any two disk knots are cobordant if the cobordisms are not required to fix the boundary sphere knots , and any two even-dimensional disk knots with isotopic boundary knots are cobordant rel boundary. However, the cobordism rel boundary theory of odd-dimensional disk knots is more subtle. Generalizing resul...
