Every graph has an embedding in $S^{3}$ containing no non-hyperbolic knot

Erica Flapan, Hugh Howards

In contrast with knots, whose properties depend only on their extrinsic topology in $S^{3}$ , there is a rich interplay between the intrinsic structure of a graph and the extrinsic to…

A Topological Characterization Of Knots and Links Arising From Site-Specific Recombination

Dorothy Buck, Erica Flapan

We develop a topological model of knots and links arising from a single (or multiple processive) round(s) of recombination starting with an unknot, unlink, or (2,m)-torus knot or l…

Intrinsic linking and knotting are arbitrarily complex

Erica Flapan, Blake Mellor, Ramin Naimi

We show that, given any $n$ and $α$ , every embedding of any sufficiently large complete graph in $R^{3}$ contains an oriented link with components $Q_{1}$ , ..., $Q_{n}$ such tha…
