A partial classification of 3-dimensional clasp number two, genus two fibered knots
Tetsuya Ito
The 3-dimensional clasp number of a knot is the minimum number of clasp singularities of clasp disk, a singular immersed disk bounding whose singular set consists o…
Weak rectangular diagrams, multi-crossing number, and arc index
Tetsuya Ito
For a non-split multi-crossing diagram of a link we show that holds. Here is the arc index and is the number…
On the negative band number
Michele Capovilla-Searle, Tetsuya Ito, Keiko Kawamuro +1
We study the negative band number of braids, knots, and links using Birman, Ko, and Lee's left-canonical form of a braid. As applications, we characterize up to conjugacy strongly…
A slice Cromwell inequality of homogeneous links
Tetsuya Ito
Cromwell proved that the minimum -degree of the HOMFLY polynomial of homogeneous link is bounded above by , where is the maximum Euler characteristic of Seife…
Knots whose braided satellite have the same HOMFLY polynomial up to given -degrees
Tetsuya Ito
For a given knot and , we construct infinitely many mutually distinct hyperbolic knots such that the -satellites of and have the same HOMFLY polynom…
