Generalizations of the groups : graphs, moduli spaces, algebraic geometry, spherical braids
Vassily Olegovich Manturov
In this work, we construct a generalization of the -theory to the case of an arbitrary hypergraph. The case of spherical braids is considered separately, using the stratific…
Secant-quandle: an invariant of braids and knots
Seongjeong Kim, Yangzhou Liu, Vassily Olegovich Manturov
We construct a novel invariant of braids and knots, secant-quandle (SQ),with generic secants serving as generators and generic horizontal trisecants serving as relations, i.e., $SQ…
3-braids with 4-valent vertices and knot invariant
Seongjeong Kim, Vassily O. Manturov
We construct a picture-valued invariant of classical knots by using the group and the plat closure of braids. We introduce a modification of the group and define a…
A generalisation of the Burau representation and groups for classical braids
Vassily Olegovich Manturov, Igor Mikhailovich Nikonov
We consider a certain modification of the group which describes dynamics of point configurations, in particular braids, and define a representation of the modified .…
Maps from knots to -links, chord diagrams, and a way to enhance Vassiliev invariants
Vassily Olegovich Manturov
In the present paper, we discuss a way of generalising Vassiliev knot invariants and weight systems to framed chord diagrams having framing 0 and 1.
Shear coordinates and braid invariants
Vassily Olegovich Manturov
We present a way of using shear coordinates in hyperbolic geometry to get invariants of braids. This method also has a tropical analogue.
