Topology of the links of cDV singularities of types for and for
Masaharu Ishikawa, Atsuko Katanaga
We show that the second integral homology group of the link of an isolated compound Du Val (cDV, for short) singularity of type is either trivial or a torsion-free abelian g…
Twist spun knots of twist spun knots of classical knots
Mizuki Fukuda, Masaharu Ishikawa
A -twist spun knot is an -dimensional knot in the -dimensional sphere which is obtained from an -dimensional knot in the -dimensional sphere by applying an ope…
Distinguishing 2-knots admitting circle actions by fundamental groups
Mizuki Fukuda, Masaharu Ishikawa
A 2-sphere embedded in the 4-sphere invariant under a circle action is called a branched twist spin. A branched twist spin is constructed from a 1-knot in the 3-sphere and a pair o…
Combinatorial cusp count and clover invariants
Sebastian Baader, Masaharu Ishikawa
We construct efficient topological cobordisms between torus links and large connected sums of trefoil knots. As an application, we show that the signature invariant at $Ï=…
