Signature of rotors
Mieczyslaw K. Dabkowski, Makiko Ishiwata, Jozef H. Przytycki +1
Rotors were introduced in Graph Theory by W.Tutte. The concept was adapted to Knot Theory as a generalization of mutation by Anstee, Przytycki and Rolfsen in 1987. In this paper we…
Search for different links with the same Jones' type polynomials: Ideas from graph theory and statistical mechanics
Jozef H. Przytycki
We describe in this talk three methods of constructing different links with the same Jones type invariant. All three can be thought as generalizations of mutation. The first combin…
Knot polynomials and generalized mutation
Richard P. Anstee, Jozef H. Przytycki, Dale Rolfsen
The motivation for this work was to construct a nontrivial knot with trivial Jones polynomial. Although that open problem has not yielded, the methods are useful for other problems…
From 3-moves to Lagrangian tangles and cubic skein modules
Jozef H. Przytycki
We discuss several open problems in classical Knot Theory and we develop techniques that allow us to study them: Lagrangian tangles, skein modules and Burnside groups.
Symmetric knots and billiard knots
Jozef H. Przytycki
Symmetry of geometrical figures is reflected in regularities of their algebraic invariants. Algebraic regularities are often preserved when the geometrical figure is topologically…
The topological interpretation of the core group of a surface in S^4
Jozef H. Przytycki, Witold Rosicki
We give a topological interpretation of the core group invariant of a surface embedded in S^4. We show that the group is isomorphic to the free product of the fundamental group of…
