불변량

  • 동위관계에 있는 두 매듭에 같은 값을 주는 양
  • 동의관계에 있는 매듭에는 같은 다항식이 대응되나, 다항식이 같다고 매듭이 동위관계에 있다고는 말할수 없다
  • 서로 다른 매듭을 구분할 수 있는 더 강력한 불변량을 찾는 것은 매듭이론의 중요한 주제이다
    • 알렉산더-콘웨이 다항식
    • HOMFLY 다항식
    • 존스 다항식
    • 바실리예프 다항식
  • 실타래 관계를 이용하여 정의되는 경우가 많다


실타래 관계 (skein relation)

  • 나머지 부분이 같고, 한 교차점에서만 다른 매듭의 oriented diagram을 실타래 diagram이라 한다
  • 유향매듭 L이 있을때, 다음과 같이 \(L_{+},L_{-},L_{0}\) 을 정의한다
  • 다항식으로 정의되는 여러 불변량들은 이 세 실타래들이 만족시키는 관계를 가지며, 이를 실타래 관계라 한다
  • 불변량을 재귀적으로 정의할 수 있게 된다


다항식 불변량의 예

알렉산더-콘웨이 다항식

  • 각 매듭에 대해 정의되는 z를 변수로 가지는 정수계수다항식 \(\nabla(\cdot)\)
  • 실타래 관계(skein relation)\[\nabla(O) = 1\]\[\nabla(L_+) - \nabla(L_-) = z \nabla(L_0)\]



존스 다항식

  • 각 매듭에 대해 정의되는 \(t^{1/2}\)를 변수로 가지는 정수계수 로랑다항식 \(V(\cdot)\)
  • 실타래 관계(skein relation)\[V(O) = 1\]\[(t^{1/2} - t^{-1/2})V(L_0) = t^{-1}V(L_{+}) - tV(L_{-})\]

  3. Knot theory has uses in physics, biology and other fields, Menasco says.[1]

  8. Therefore, a fundamental problem in knot theory is determining when two descriptions represent the same knot.[3]
  9. The original motivation for the founders of knot theory was to create a table of knots and links, which are knots of several components entangled with each other.[3]
  10. More than six billion knots and links have been tabulated since the beginnings of knot theory in the 19th century.[3]
  11. This record motivated the early knot theorists, but knot theory eventually became part of the emerging subject of topology.[3]
  12. Question: How can knot theory help us understand DNA packing?[4]
  13. It is perhaps not surprising then that connections between mathematical knot theory and biology have been discovered.[4]
  14. By thinking of DNA as a knot, we can use knot theory to estimate how hard DNA is to unknot.[4]
  15. Knot theory can help scientists discover the mechanisms by which these enzymes work.[4]
  16. Below, Edward Witten, Charles Simonyi Professor in the School of Natural Sciences, describes the history and development of the Jones polynomial and his interest in knot theory as a physicist.[5]
  17. But to understand knot theory, at least for the moment, we are going to imagine a world of only three spacetime dimensions—two space dimensions and one time dimension.[5]

  19. Knot theory is the mathematical branch of topology that studies mathematical knots, which are defined as embeddings of a circle in 3-dimensional Euclidean space, R3.[7]
  20. Research in knot theory began with the creation of knot tables and the systematic tabulation of knots.[7]
  21. In the last 30 years, knot theory has also become a tool in applied mathematics.[7]
  22. Chemists and biologists use knot theory to understand, for example, chirality of molecules and the actions of enzymes on DNA.[7]

  27. There are various pages related to knot theory that are linked from the main articles.[9]
  28. Still, even without any other application in sight, the mathematical interest in knot theory continued at that point for its own sake.[10]
  29. One of the main goals of knot theory has always been to identify properties that truly distinguish knots—to find what are known as knot invariants.[10]
  30. When a better mathematical model (in the form of the Bohr atom) was discovered, mathematicians did not abandon knot theory.[10]
