QUATERNION ALGEBRAS and INVARIANTS of VIRTUAL KNOTS and LINKS II: The Hyperbolic Case

چکیده
called the fundamental equation is satisfied. Then an invariant R-module is defined for any diagram of a (virtual) knot or link. Solutions in the classic quaternion case have been found by Bartholomew, Budden and Fenn. Solutions in the generalised quaternion case have been found by Fenn in an earlier paper. These latter solutions are only partial in the case of 2×2 matrices and the aim of this paper is to provide solutions to the missing cases.

Quasitriangular Hopf algebras are examples of quantum algebras and orie...
متن کاملCommensurability and virtual fibration for graph manifolds
Two manifolds are commensurable if they have diffeomorphic covers. We would like invariants that distinguish manifolds up to commensurability. A collection of such commensurability invariants is complete if it always distinguishes non-commensurable manifolds. Commensurability invariants of hyperbolic 3-manifolds are discussed in [NRe]. The two main ones are the invariant trace field and the inv...
متن کاملOn Polynomial Invariants of Virtual Links
The VA-polynomial proposed in the author’s earlier paper (Acta Appl. Math. 72 (2002), 295–309) for virtual knots and links is considered in this paper. One goal here is to refine the definition of this polynomial to the case of the ring Z in place of the field Q. Moreover, the approach in the paper mentioned makes it possible to recognize “long virtual knots” obtained from equivalent virtual kn...
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...
متن کاملOn 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 ...
