Knotting and linking in 4 and 5 dimensions from barbell diffeomorphisms
Seungwon Kim, Gheehyun Nahm, Alison Tatsuoka
In this paper, we construct infinitely many non-isotopic 3-knots in the 5-sphere, each of which has four critical points with respect to the standard height function of the 5-spher…

Brunnian links of 3-balls in the 4-sphere
Seungwon Kim, Gheehyun Nahm, Alison Tatsuoka
For each integer , we construct infinitely many -component Brunnian links of 3-balls in . Our main tool is the third author's result on the existence of splitting s…

Splitting spheres for unlinked 's in
Alison Tatsuoka
We show that there exist infinitely many pairwise non-isotopic splitting spheres for two unlinked, unknotted 's in . This answers a question posed by Hughes, Kim, and Mil…
