Ravels arising from Montesinos Tangles
Erica Flapan, Allison N. Miller
A ravel is a spatial graph which is non-planar but contains no non-trivial knots or links. We characterize when a Montesinos tangle can become a ravel as the result of vertex closu…

A note on the topological sliceness of some 2-bridge knots
Allison N. Miller
We use twisted Alexander polynomials to show that certain algebraically slice 2-bridge knots are not topologically slice, even though all prime power Casson-Gordon signatures vanis…

Distinguishing mutant pretzel knots in concordance
Allison N. Miller
We prove that many pretzel knots of the form are not topologically slice, even though their positive mutants are ribbon. We use the sli…
