A Representation Theorem for Knots and a Generalization of the Fundamental Theorem of Finite Type Invariants
Cole Hugelmeyer
We provide a way to produce knots in from signed chord diagrams, and prove that every knot can be produced in this way. Using these diagrams, we generalize the fundamental th…

Every smooth Jordan curve has an inscribed rectangle with aspect ratio equal to
Cole Hugelmeyer
We use Batson's lower bound on the nonorientable slice genus of -torus knots to prove that for any , every smooth Jordan curve has an inscribed rectangle of of…
