Classification of (uncolored) bonded knots and links

Boštjan Gabrovšek, Matic Simonič, Wanda Niemyska

We present a systematic classification of uncolored bonded knots with singularity number at most seven. Bonded knots provide a topological model for closed protein chains with intr…

A table of knotoids in up to seven crossings

Boštjan Gabrovšek, Paolo Cavicchioli

We present a complete classification of spherical knotoids with up to six crossings and conjecture that our classification up to seven crossings is complete. Our work extends the t…

Bonded braids and the Markov theorem

Paolo Cavicchioli, Boštjan Gabrovšek, Matic Simonič

Bonded knots arise naturally in topological protein modeling, where intramolecular interactions such as disulfide bridges stabilize folded configurations. These structures extend c…

Classification of algebraic tangles

Bartosz Ambrozy Gren, Joanna Ida Sulkowska, Boštjan Gabrovšek

We study algebraic tangles as fundamental components in knot theory, developing a systematic approach to classify and tabulate prime tangles using a novel canonical representation.…

The bracket polynomial of bonded knots and applications to entangles proteins

Boštjan Gabrovšek, Matic Simonič

We model proteins with intramolecular bonds, such as disulfide bridges, using the concept of bonded knots -- closed loops in three-dimensional space equipped with additional bonds…

A fresh look to a randomized massively parallel graph coloring algorithm

Boštjan Gabrovšek, Janez Žerovnik

Petford and Welsh introduced a sequential heuristic algorithm for (approximately) solving the NP-hard graph coloring problem. The algorithm is based on the antivoter model and mimi…

An invariant for colored bonded knots

Bostjan Gabrovsek

We equip a knot with a set of colored bonds, that is, colored intervals properly embedded into . Such a construction can be viewed as a structure that…

The Alexander polynomial for closed braids in lens spaces

Boštjan Gabrovšek, Eva Horvat

We present a reduced Burau-like representation for the mixed braid group on one strand representing links in lens spaces and show how to calculate the Alexander polynomial of a lin…

Knot invariants in lens spaces

Boštjan Gabrovšek, Eva Horvat

In this survey we summarize results regarding the Kauffman bracket, HOMFLYPT, Kauffman 2-variable and Dubrovnik skein modules, and the Alexander polynomial of links in lens spaces,…

Link diagrams in Seifert manifolds and applications to skein modules

Boštjan Gabrovšek, Maciej Mroczkowski

In this survey paper we present results about link diagrams in Seifert manifolds using arrow diagrams, starting with link diagrams in and , where $F…

A Markov theorem for generalized plat decomposition

Alessia Cattabriga, Boštjan Gabrovšek

We prove a Markov theorem for tame links in a connected closed orientable 3-manifold with respect to a plat-like representation. More precisely, given a genus Heegaard surf…

Tabulation of prime knots in lens spaces

Boštjan Gabrovšek

Using computational techniques we tabulate prime knots up to five crossings in the solid torus and the infinite family of lens spaces . For these knots we calculate the sec…

On the Alexander polynomial of links in lens spaces

Eva Horvat, Boštjan Gabrovšek

We show how the Alexander polynomial of links in lens spaces is related to the classical Alexander polynomial of a link in the 3-sphere, obtained by cutting out the exceptional len…
