Knot invariants and the Bollobas-Riordan polynomial of embedded graphs
Iain Moffatt
For a graph G embedded in an orientable surface Σ, we consider associated links L(G) in the thickened surface Σ\times I. We relate the HOMFLY polynomial of L(G) to the recently def…

A new proof that alternating links are non-trivial
Iain Moffatt
We use a simple geometric argument and small cancellation properties of link groups to prove that alternating links are non-trivial. This proof uses only classic results in topolog…
