  3. Characterization of non-self OU sequences of two-component link diagrams

    Naoki Sakata, Ayaka Shimizu, Koya Shimokawa

    Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications　2026/08/05

    More details Close

    A non-self OU sequence is a cyclic sequence of crossing information of non-self crossings that is obtained by traversing a knot component of an oriented link diagram. In this paper, we investigate what information can be derived from non-self OU sequences, and we completely characterize pairs of non-self OU sequences of diagrams of two-component links. We also characterize the pairs for specific prime links with crossing number up to five.

    <jats:p>We introduce the concept of a handlebody decomposition of a three-manifold, a generalization of a Heegaard splitting, or a trisection. We show that two handlebody decompositions of a closed orientable three-manifold are stably equivalent. As an application to materials science, we consider a mathematical model of polycontinuous patterns and discuss a topological study of microphase separation of a block copolymer melt.</jats:p>

  8. Veering structures of the canonical decompositions of hyperbolic fibered two-bridge link complements

    Naoki Sakata

    Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications　25　(04)　1650015-1650015　2016/04

    <jats:p> In his previous work, the author proved that the canonical decompositions of hyperbolic fibered two-bridge link complements are layered. This implies that they admit taut structures. In this paper, we completely determine, for each hyperbolic fibered two-bridge link, whether the canonical decomposition of its complement is veering with respect to the taut structure. </jats:p>
