Abstract

Recall that we are trying to relate geometric and topological aspects of the knot complement \({S}^{3} \setminus K\) to quantum invariants and diagrammatic properties. So far, we have identified an essential state surface S A , and we have found a polyhedral decomposition of \({M}_{A}\,=\,{S}^{3}\setminus \setminus {S}_{A}\).

Keywords

  • Euler Characteristic
  • Regular Neighborhood
  • Topological Aspect
  • Compression Disk
  • Diagrammatic Property

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
