The non-commutative -polynomial of twist knots
Stavros Garoufalidis, Xinyu Sun
The purpose of the paper is two-fold: to introduce a multivariable creative telescoping method, and to apply it in a problem of Quantum Topology: namely the computation of the non-…
Symplectic symmetries of 4-manifolds
Weimin Chen, Slawomir Kwasik
A study of symplectic actions of a finite group on smooth 4-manifolds is initiated. The central new idea is the use of -equivariant Seiberg-Witten-Taubes theory in studying…
Symmetries and exotic smooth structures on a surface
Weimin Chen, Slawomir Kwasik
Smooth and symplectic symmetries of an infinite family of distinct exotic surfaces are studied, and comparison with the corresponding symmetries of the standard is made.…
Functors Extending the Kauffman Bracket
John Armstrong
In this article we extend evaluations of the Kauffman bracket on regular isotopy classes of knots and links to a variety of functors defined on the category of framed tangles. We s…
Smooth s-cobordisms of elliptic 3-manifolds
Weimin Chen
The main result of this paper states that a symplectic s-cobordism of elliptic 3-manifolds is diffeomorphic to a product (assuming a canonical contact structure on the boundary). B…
