چکیده
We show that if a knot has a minimal spanning surface that admits certain Gabai disks, then this knot has Property P. As one of the applications we extend and simplify a recent result of Menasco and Zhang that closed 3-braid knots have Property P. Other applications are given.

Property P for Knots admitting Certain Gabai Disks

متن کاملM ay 2 00 5 Transverse doubled knots and clasp disks
We analyze transverse doubled knots in the standard contact 3-space by using spanned clasp disks. As applications, we will estimate their self-linking number and furthermore we will show that in many cases, transverse twist knots with the maximal self-linking number are unique up to transverse isotopy.

We obtain a new definition of the ramification subgroups of the absolute Galois group of a complete discrete valuation field with perfect residue field in terms of Fontaine’s property (Pm).

Mutant knots, in the sense of Conway, are known to share the same Homfly polynomial. Their 2-string satellites also share the same Homfly polynomial, but in general their m-string satellites can have different Homfly polynomials for m > 2. We show that, under conditions of extra symmetry on the constituent 2-tangles, the directed m-string satellites of mutants share the same Homfly polynomial f...

Winds from accretion disks have been proposed as the driving source for precessing jets and extreme bipolar morphologies in Planetary Nebulae (PNe) and proto-PNe (pPNe). In this paper we address the applicability MHD disk wind models to PNe and pPNe. We first review Pelletier & Pudritz's (1992) non self-similar approach to magneto-centrifugal disk winds. We then discuss conditions which may occ...
