Four-manifolds, geometries and knots

open access: yes, 2007
The goal of this book is to characterize algebraically the closed 4-manifolds that fibre nontrivially or admit geometries in the sense of Thurston, or which are obtained by surgery on 2-knots, and to provide a reference for the topology of such manifolds

On grid diagrams, braids and Markov moves

open access: yes, 2010
Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 42).Grid diagrams are essential in the new combinatorial version [MOST07] of the Heegaard Floer knot homology, and proving that these homologies are actually knot and link invariants depends ...

The $CFK^\infty$ Type of Almost L-space Knots

open access: yes, 2023
Heegaard Floer homology and knot Floer homology are powerful invariants of 3-manifolds and links respectively. L-space knots are knots which admit Dehn surgeries to 3-manifolds with Heegaard Floer homology of minimal rank. In this paper we study almost L-

Seifert manifolds and (1,1)-knots

open access: yes, 2009
The aim of this paper is to investigate the relations between Seifert manifolds and (1,1)-knots. In particular, we prove that each orientable Seifert manifold with invariants{Oo,0| -1; (p,q),..., (p,q),(l, l-1)}, where (p,q) are taken n times, has a ...

Milnor's invariants for knots and links in closed orientable 3-manifolds

open access: yes
In his 1957 paper, John Milnor introduced a collection of invariants for links in $S^3$ detecting higher-order linking phenomena by studying lower central quotients of link groups and comparing them to those of the unlink.

Hardness of computation of quantum invariants on 3-manifolds with restricted topology

open access: yes
International audienceQuantum invariants in low-dimensional topology offer a wide variety of valuable invariants about knots and 3-manifolds, presented by explicit formulas that are readily computable.

Counting simple knots via arithmetic invariants

open access: yes, 2014
Knot theory and arithmetic invariant theory are two fields of mathematics that rely on algebraic invariants. We investigate the connections between the two, and give a framework for addressing asymptotic counting questions relating to knots and knot ...
