Topological Surgery in Nature
Stathis Antoniou, Sofia Lambropoulou
In this paper, we extend the formal definition of topological surgery by introducing new notions in order to model natural phenomena exhibiting it. On the one hand, the common feat…
A spanning set and potential basis of the mixed Hecke algebra on two fixed strands
Dimitrios Kodokostas, Sofia Lambropoulou
The mixed braid groups , with two fixed strands and moving ones, are known to be related to the knot theory of certain families of -manifolds. I…
New skein invariants of links
Louis H. Kauffman, Sofia Lambropoulou
We introduce new skein invariants of links based on a procedure where we first apply the skein relation only to crossings of distinct components, so as to produce collections of un…
The braid approach to the HOMFLYPT skein module of the lens spaces
Ioannis Diamantis, Sofia Lambropoulou
In this paper we present recent results toward the computation of the HOMFLYPT skein module of the lens spaces , , via braids. Our starting…
