چکیده

A good drawing of Kn is a drawing of the complete graph with n vertices in the sphere such that: no two edges with a common end cross; no two edges cross more than once; and no three edges all cross at the same point. Gioan’s Theorem asserts that any two good drawings of Kn that have the same rotations of incident edges at every vertex are equivalent up to triangle-flips. At the time of preparation, 10 years had passed between the statement in the WG 2005 conference proceedings and our interest in the proposition. Shortly after we completed our preprint, Gioan independently completed a preprint.

Minimal Sets of Reidemeister Moves

It is well known that any two diagrams representing the same oriented link are related by a finite sequence of Reidemeister moves Ω1, Ω2 and Ω3. Depending on orientations of fragments involved in the moves, one may distinguish 4 different versions of each of the Ω1 and Ω2 moves, and 8 versions of the Ω3 move. We introduce a minimal generating set of four oriented Reidemeister moves, which inclu...

A Lower Bound for the Number of Reidemeister Moves for Unknotting

How many Reidemeister moves do we need for unknotting a given diagram of the trivial knot? Hass and Lagarias gave an upper bound. We give an upper bound for deforming a diagram of a split link to be disconnected. On the other hand, the absolute value of the writhe gives a lower bound of the number of Reidemeister I moves for unknotting. That of a complexity of knot diagram “cowrithe” works for ...

On Free Knots and Links

Both classical and virtual knots arise as formal Gauss diagrams modulo some abstract moves corresponding to Reidemeister moves. If we forget about both over/under crossings structure and writhe numbers of knots modulo the same Reidemeister moves, we get a dramatic simplification of virtual knots, which kills all classical knots. However, many virtual knots survive after this simplification. We ...

A Jones polynomial for braid-like isotopies of oriented links and its categorification

Links in 3–space are usually given by diagrams and isotopies of links by sequences of Reidemeister moves (see e.g. [BZ85]). For relatively oriented links (i.e. up to global orientation reversing), there are exactly two different local (i.e. without regarding the rest of the diagram) Reidemeister moves of type II , shown in Figure 1, and eight local Reidemeister moves of type III , shown in Figu...

Structural evidence on strike slip Kinematic inversion of the Kushk-e-Nosrat Fault zone, Central Iran

NW-tending faults in Central Iran are expected to represent dominant dextral components due to their orientation with respect to the northward motion of the Arabian Plate with respect to Eurasia. However, previously published works, as well as the focal mechanism solution of the area's earthquakes, indicate evidence of sinistral kinematic along the major faults in Central Iran. Here we present ...
