Search for torsion in Khovanov homology

S Mukherjee, JH Przytycki, M Silvero… - Experimental …, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
In the Khovanov homology of links, presence of Z 2-torsion is a very common phenomenon.
Finite number of examples of knots with Z n-torsion for n> 2 were also known, none for n> 8 …

Asymptotics of the smooth -realization problem

S Baader, P Feller - arXiv preprint arXiv:2303.15434, 2023 - arxiv.org
We solve an asymptotic variant of a smooth version of the $ A_n $-realization problem for
plane curves. As an application, we determine the cobordism distance between torus links of …

Taut foliations, positive 3‐braids, and the L‐space conjecture

S Krishna - Journal of Topology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
We construct taut foliations in every closed 3‐manifold obtained by r‐framed Dehn surgery
along a positive 3‐braid knot K in S 3, where r< 2 g (K)− 1 and g (K) denotes the Seifert …

A note on knot Floer thickness and the dealternating number

L Truong - Topology and its Applications, 2023 - Elsevier
In this note, we give a short proof that knot Floer thickness is a lower bound on the
dealternating number of a knot. The result is originally due to work of Abe and Kishimoto …

The Turaev genus of torus knots

K Jin, AM Lowrance, E Polston… - Journal of Knot Theory and …, 2017 - World Scientific
The Turaev genus and dealternating number of a link are two invariants that measure how
far away a link is from alternating. We determine the Turaev genus of a torus knot with five or …

Genus one cobordisms between torus knots

P Feller, JH Park - International Mathematics Research Notices, 2021 - academic.oup.com
We determine the pairs of torus knots that have a genus one cobordism between them, with
one notable exception. This is done by combining obstructions using from the Heegaard …

The Turaev genus and dealternating number of a link are two invariants that measure how
