Some 3-dimensional transverse C-links (Constructions of higher-dimensional C-links, I)

Lee Rudolph

By use of a variety of techniques (most based on constructions of quasipositive knots and links, some old and others new), many smooth 3-manifolds are realized as transverse inters…

Whitehead's Integral Formula, Isolated Critical Points, and the Enhancement of the Milnor Number

Lee Rudolph

J. H. C. Whitehead gave an elegant integral formula for the Hopf invariant H(p) of a smooth map p from the 3-sphere to the 2-sphere. Given an open book structure b on the 3-sphere…

Algebraic functions and closed braids

Lee Rudolph

This article was originally published in Topology 22 (1983). The present hyperTeXed redaction includes references to post-1983 results as Addenda, and corrects a few typographical…

Knot theory of complex plane curves

Lee Rudolph

The primary objects of study in the ``knot theory of complex plane curves'' are C-links: links (or knots) cut out of a 3-sphere in the complex plane by complex plane transverse and…

Constructions of Morse maps for knots and links, and upper bounds on the Morse-Novikov number

Mikami Hirasawa, Lee Rudolph

The Morse-Novikov number MN(L) of an oriented link L in the 3-sphere is the minimum number of critical points of a Morse map from the complement of L in the 3-sphere to the circle…
