A New Way to Tabulate Knots

چکیده
We introduce a new way to tabulate knots by representing knot diagrams using a pair of planar trees. This pair of trees have their edges labeled by integers, they have no valence 2 vertices, and they have the same number of valence 1 vertices. The number of valence 1 vertices of the trees is called the girth of the knot diagram. The classification problem of knots admitting girth 2 and 3 diagrams is studied. The planar tree pair representations of girth ≤ 3 for knot diagrams in Rolfsen’s table are given.

The Concordance Genus of Knots
In knot concordance three genera arise naturally, g(K), g4(K), and gc(K): these are the classical genus, the 4–ball genus, and the concordance genus, defined to be the minimum genus among all knots concordant to K. Clearly 0 ≤ g4(K) ≤ gc(K) ≤ g(K). Casson and Nakanishi gave examples to show that g4(K) need not equal gc(K). We begin by reviewing and extending their results. For knots representin...
متن کاملA comparative study of knotting decorations and knot tools Used in Ghaffarieh and Kabud domes of Maragheh city
Knotting is one of the most regular geometric decorations that spread with the spread of Islam. Among the different Islamic governments, the Ilkhani era is one of the most brilliant periods of prosperity and flourishing of art and architecture with the use of knot-making in Iran. Among the magnificent buildings of this period are Kabud Dome and Ghaffarieh Dome, located in Maragheh city, the ext...
متن کاملSampling Lissajous and Fourier Knots
A Lissajous knot is one that can be parameterized as K(t) = (cos(nxt+ φx), cos(nyt+ φy), cos(nzt+ φz)) where the frequencies nx, ny , and nz are relatively prime integers and the phase shifts φx, φy and φz are real numbers. Lissajous knots are highly symmetric, and for this reason, not all knots are Lissajous. We prove several theorems which allow us to place bounds on the number of Lissajous k...
متن کاملA New Way to Compute the Thurston-bennequin Number
We establish a relation between several easy-to-calculate numerical invariants of generic knots in H × S, and use it to give a new method of computing the Thurston-Bennequin number of Legendrian knots in the tight contact R.

Symmetric and asymmetric knots, as two original knots, possess different physical and mechanical properties that influence the function of a carpet. Jufti and U knots give different properties to the carpet compared to the original ones. If they were used to produce specific properties, they would enhance the carpet's quality. However, nowadays their applications are considered as methods that ...
