A polynomial invariant of planar curves
Zhiyun Cheng, Yin Tian, Tianyu Yuan
We construct a polynomial invariant of planar curves via skein relations, which generalizes Arnold's numerical invariant .
GL-racks and coloring invariants of Legendrian knots
Zhiyun Cheng, Zhiyi He
In this paper, we explore the algebraic structure of GL-racks, and demonstrate that finite GL-racks decompose canonically into permutation GL-racks and block GL-racks. As a corolla…
Coloring invariants for links in
Zhiyun Cheng, Hongzhu Gao
Let be a closed oriented surface of genus , in this paper we discuss how to define coloring invariants and its generalizations for links in .
Intersection graph and writhe polynomial
Zhiyun Cheng
We prove that two virtual knots have equivalent intersection graphs if and only if they have the same writhe polynomial.
Region crossing change on planar trivalent graphs
Zhiyun Cheng
In this short note, we investigate the effect of region crossing change on planar trivalent graphs.
Chord index for knots in thickened surfaces
Zhiyun Cheng, Hongzhu Gao, Mengjian Xu
In this note, we construct a chord index homomorphism from a subgroup of to the group of chord indices of a knot in . Some knot invariants deriv…
