On the classification of rational tangles
Louis H. Kauffman, Sofia Lambropoulou
This paper gives two new combinatorial topological proofs of the classification of rational tangles. Each proof rests on an elegant lemma showing that rational tangles are isotopic…

Kernel of the variation operator and periodicity of the open books
Louis H. Kauffman, Nikolai A. Krylov
We consider a parallelizable -manifold which has the homotopy type of the wedge product of -spheres and show that the group of pseudo-isotopy classes of orientation pres…
