Quandle homology and relative group homology

Ayumu Inoue

We introduce a chain map from quandle homology to relative group homology, and construct several quandle cocycles through the chain map. We also relate this chain map to triangulat…

The lengths of 3-cocycles of the 7-dihedral and the octahedral quandles

Ayumu Inoue

We determine the lengths of certain 3-cocycles of the 7-dihedral and the octahedral quandles. As a consequence, we show that both of the 2-twist-spun -knot and the 4-twist-s…

A counter example of Yashiro's theorem on pseudo-cycles of a surface knot

Ayumu Inoue

We point out that the claim in Theorem 1.1 of Yashiro's paper ``Pseudo-cycles of surface-knots'' is not true, giving a counter example.

Alteration of Seifert surfaces

Ayumu Inoue

We introduce the notion of alteration of a surface embedded in a 3-manifold extending that of compression. We see that given two Seifert surfaces of the same link are related to ea…

Crossing numbers and rotation numbers of cycles in a plane immersed graph

Ayumu Inoue, Naoki Kimura, Ryo Nikkuni +1

For any generic immersion of a Petersen graph into a plane, the number of crossing points between two edges of distance one is odd. The sum of the crossing numbers of all -cycle…

The knot quandle of the twist-spun trefoil is a central extension of a Schläfli quandle

Ayumu Inoue

A quandle is an algebraic system which excels at describing limited symmetries of a space. We introduce the concept of Schläfli quandles which are defined relating to chosen rotati…

On the knot quandle of the twist-spun trefoil

Ayumu Inoue

We show that the knot quandle of the -, -, or -twist-spun trefoil is isomorphic to a quandle related to the -, -, or -cell respectively. We further show that…

On the knot quandle of a fibered knot, finiteness and equivalence of knot quandles

Ayumu Inoue

We show that the structure of a fibered knot, as a fiber bundle, is reflected in its knot quandle. As an application, we discuss finiteness and equivalence of knot quandles of conc…

A subspecies of region crossing change, region freeze crossing change

Ayumu Inoue, Ryo Shimizu

We introduce a local move on a link diagram named a region freeze crossing change which is close to a region crossing change, but not the same. We study similarity and difference b…

On colorability of knots by rotations, Torus knot and PL trochoid

Ayumu Inoue

The set consisting of all rotations of the Euclidean plane is equipped with a quandle structure. We show that a knot is colorable by this quandle if and only if its Alexander polyn…

Quasi-triviality of quandles for link-homotopy

Ayumu Inoue

We introduce the notion of quasi-triviality of quandles and define homology of quasi-trivial quandles. Quandle cocycle invariants are invariant under link-homotopy if they are asso…

Quandle homology and complex volume

Ayumu Inoue, Yuichi Kabaya

We introduce a new homology theory of quandles, called simplicial quandle homology, which is quite different from quandle homology developed by Carter et al. We construct a homomor…

A symmetric motion picture of the twist-spun trefoil

Ayumu Inoue

With the aid of a computer, we provide a motion picture of the twist-spun trefoil which exhibits the periodicity well.

Quandle and hyperbolic volume

Ayumu Inoue

We show that the hyperbolic volume of a hyperbolic knot is a quandle cocycle invariant. Further we show that it completely determines invertibility and positive/negative amphicheir…
