Canonical genus and the Whitehead doubles of pretzel knots
Mark Brittenham, Jacqueline Jensen
We show that for an alternating pretzel knot K the canonical genera of its Whitehead doubles W(K) are equal to the crossing number c(K) of K, verifying a conjecture of Tripp in the…

Families of knots for which Morton's inequality is strict
Mark Brittenham, Jacqueline Jensen
We describe a procedure for creating infinite families of knots, each having the maximum degree of their HOMFLY polynomial strictly less than twice their canonical genus. These fam…
