Vassiliev Invariants for Torus Knots
نویسنده
چکیده
Vassiliev invariants up to order six for arbitrary torus knots {n,m}, with n and m coprime integers, are computed. These invariants are polynomials in n and m whose degree coincide with their order. Furthermore, they turn out to be integer-valued in a normalization previously proposed by the authors. ⋆ e-mail: [email protected]

A Sequence of Degree One Vassiliev Invariants for Virtual Knots
For ordinary knots in 3-space, there are no degree one Vassiliev invariants. For virtual knots, however, the space of degree one Vassiliev invariants is infinite dimensional. We introduce a sequence of three degree one Vassiliev invariants of virtual knots of increasing strength. We demonstrate that the strongest invariant is a universal Vassiliev invariant of degree one for virtual knots in th...
متن کاملNew knot and link invariants
We study the new formulas of Th. Fiedler for the degree-3-Vassiliev invariants for knots in the 3-sphere and solid torus and present some results obtained by them. We show that a knot with Jones polynomial consisting of exactly two monomials must have at least 20 crossings.
متن کاملOn the First Two Vassiliev Invariants
The two simplest nontrivial Vassiliev knot invariants (see [Vassiliev 92, Birman and Lin 93]) are of type two and type three. These invariants have been studied from various angles: for instance, combinatorial formulæ for evaluating them have been derived, and simple bounds in terms of crossing number have been obtained (see e.g., [Polyak and Viro 94, Lannes 93, Willerton 97]). In this work, th...
متن کاملA Geometric Characterization of Vassiliev Invariants
It is a well-known paradigm to consider Vassiliev invariants as polynomials on the set of knots. We prove the following characterization: a rational knot invariant is a Vassiliev invariant of degree ≤ m if and only if it is a polynomial of degree ≤ m on every geometric sequence of knots. Here a sequence Kz with z ∈ Z is called geometric if the knots Kz coincide outside a ball B, inside of which...
متن کاملOn Vassiliev Invariants Not Coming from Semisimple Lie Algebras
We prove a refinement of Vogel’s statement that the Vassiliev invariants of knots coming from semisimple Lie algebras do not generate all Vassiliev invariants. This refinement takes into account the second grading on the Vassiliev invariants induced by cabling of knots. As an application we get an amelioration of the actually known lower bounds for the dimensions of the space of Vassiliev invar...
