[BOK][B] Hyperbolic knot theory

JS Purcell - 2020 - books.google.com
This book provides an introduction to hyperbolic geometry in dimension three, with
motivation and applications arising from knot theory. Hyperbolic geometry was first used as …

Geometrically and diagrammatically maximal knots

A Champanerkar, I Kofman… - Journal of the London …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
The ratio of volume to crossing number of a hyperbolic knot is known to be bounded above
by the volume of a regular ideal octahedron, and a similar bound is conjectured for the knot …

Generalized bipyramids and hyperbolic volumes of alternating k-uniform tiling links

C Adams, A Calderon, N Mayer - Topology and its Applications, 2020 - Elsevier
We present explicit geometric decompositions of the hyperbolic complements of alternating
k-uniform tiling links, which are alternating links whose projection graphs are k-uniform …

Universal knot diagrams

C Even-Zohar, J Hass, N Linial… - Journal of Knot Theory and …, 2019 - World Scientific
We study collections of planar curves that yield diagrams for all knots. In particular, we show
that a very special class called potholder curves carries all knots. This has implications for …

Bipyramids and bounds on volumes of hyperbolic links

C Adams - Topology and its Applications, 2017 - Elsevier
We present two methods to decompose a link complement into bipyramids, which have a
variety of applications. Here, we apply them to obtain new upper bounds on volume for …

The spectra of volume and determinant densities of links

SD Burton - Topology and its Applications, 2016 - Elsevier
The volume density of a hyperbolic link K is defined to be the ratio of the hyperbolic volume
of K to the crossing number of K. We show that there are sequences of non-alternating links …

The determinant and volume of 2-bridge links and alternating 3-braids

SD Burton - arxiv preprint arxiv:1704.02344, 2017 - arxiv.org
We examine the conjecture, due to Champanerkar, Kofman, and Purcell that $\text {vol}(K)<
2\pi\log\det (K) $ for alternating hyperbolic links, where $\text {vol}(K)=\text {vol}(S …

Densities of hyperbolic cusp invariants of knots and links

C Adams, R Kaplan-Kelly, M Moore, B Shapiro… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - ams.org
We find that cusp densities of hyperbolic knots in $ S^ 3$ include a dense subset of $[0,
0.6826\dots] $ and those of links are a dense subset of $[0, 0.853\dots] $. We define a new …

Bipyramid decompositions of multi-crossing link complements

C Adams, G Kehne - arxiv preprint arxiv:1610.03830, 2016 - arxiv.org
Generalizing previous constructions, we present a dual pair of decompositions of the
complement of a link L into bipyramids, given any multi-crossing projection of L. When L is …
