چکیده
For each k ≥ 2, we exhibit infinite families of prime k-component links with Jones polynomial equal to that of the k-component unlink.

Crosscap Numbers and the Jones Polynomial Efstratia Kalfagianni and Christine Ruey
We give sharp two-sided linear bounds of the crosscap number (nonorientable genus) of alternating links in terms of their Jones polynomial. Our estimates are often exact and we use them to calculate the crosscap numbers for several infinite families of alternating links and for several alternating knots with up to twelve crossings. We also discuss generalizations of our results for classes of n...
متن کاملOn links with cyclotomic Jones polynomials
We show that if {Ln} is any infinite sequence of links with twist number τ (Ln) and with cyclotomic Jones polynomials of increasing span, then lim sup τ (Ln) = ∞ . This implies that any infinite sequence of prime alternating links with cyclotomic Jones polynomials must have unbounded hyperbolic volume. The main tool is the multivariable twist–bracket polynomial, which generalizes the Kauffman b...
متن کاملZeros of Jones Polynomials for Families of Knots and Links
We calculate Jones polynomials VL(t) for several families of alternating knots and links by computing the Tutte polynomials T (G, x, y) for the associated graphs G and then obtaining VL(t) as a special case of the Tutte polynomial. For each of these families we determine the zeros of the Jones polynomial, including the accumulation set in the limit of infinitely many crossings. A discussion is ...

We show that several classes of links, including semiadequate links and Whitehead doubles of semiadequate knots, have non-trivial Jones polynomial. Then we prove that there are infinitely many positive knots with no positive minimal crossing diagrams, and infinitely many achiral knots of odd crossing number. Some applications to the twist number of a link, Mahler measure and the hyperbolic volu...
متن کاملUnlinking Number and Unlinking Gap
After introducing the Bernhard-Jablan Conjecture, we computed rational links with an unlinking gap for n ≤ 16 crossings. Several new infinite multi-parameter families of rational knots and links with unlinking gap are described. The general principle for the construction of infinite families of links with an unlinking gap is proposed. New infinite families of polyhedral alternating links with u...
