The Alexander Polynomial of a Rational Link
Mark E. Kidwell, Kerry M. Luse
We relate some terms on the boundary of the Newton polygon of the Alexander polynomial of a rational link to the number and length of monochromatic twist sites in a partic…
Predicting the number and type of twist sites in a rational knot or link
Mark E. Kidwell, Kerry M. Luse
A rational knot or link can be put into a standard alternating format which has horizontal and vertical twist sites (double helices). The number and type of these twist sites are d…
Problems on invariants of knots and 3-manifolds
J. E. Andersen, N. Askitas, D. Bar-Natan +57
This is a list of open problems on invariants of knots and 3-manifolds with expositions of their history, background, significance, or importance. This list was made by editing ope…
On the z-degree of the Kauffman polynomial of a tangle decomposition
Mark E. Kidwell, Theodore B. Stanford
We give an upper bound on the z-degree of the Kauffman polynomial of a link, using bridges of length greater than one which are separated in some tangle decomposition of a link dia…
