A table of knotoids in up to seven crossings
Boštjan Gabrovšek, Paolo Cavicchioli
We present a complete classification of spherical knotoids with up to six crossings and conjecture that our classification up to seven crossings is complete. Our work extends the t…

Bonded braids and the Markov theorem
Paolo Cavicchioli, BoÅ¡tjan GabrovÅ¡ek, Matic SimoniÄ
Bonded knots arise naturally in topological protein modeling, where intramolecular interactions such as disulfide bridges stabilize folded configurations. These structures extend c…

Knots and non-orientable surfaces in 3-manifolds
Alessia Cattabriga, Paolo Cavicchioli, Rama Mishra +1
In this article, we propose a new approach for describing and understanding knots and links in a 3-manifold through the use of an embedded non-orientable surface. Specifically, we…
