A multi-variable Alexander polynomial for a framed transverse graph
Yuanyuan Bao, Zhongtao Wu
We propose a definition of the rotation number for transverse graph diagrams, extending the classical notion of the rotation number for plane curves. Using this, we introduce a nor…

On Thompson knot theory and conjugacy classes of Thompson's group
Yuanyuan Bao, Xiaobing Sheng
Jones introduced a method to produce unoriented links from elements of the Thompson's group , and proved that any link can be produced by this construction. In this paper, we at…

-Alexander polynomial for -manifolds, Reidemeister torsion and lens spaces
Yuanyuan Bao
In this note, we reformulate the invariant that we defined before, and show its relation with Reidemeister torsion. We calculate when the -manifolds are…
