Abstract

The Yokonuma-Hecke algebras are quotients of the modular framed braid group and they support Markov traces. In this paper, which is sequel to Juyumaya and Lambropoulou (2007), we explore further the structures of the $p$-adic framed braids and the $p$-adic Yokonuma-Hecke algebras constructed in Juyumaya and Lambropoulou (2007), by means of dense sub-structures approximating $p$-adic elements. We also construct a $p$-adic Markov trace on the $p$-adic Yokonuma-Hecke algebras and we approximate the values of the $p$-adic trace on $p$-adic elements. Surprisingly, the Markov traces do not re-scale directly to yield isotopy invariants of framed links. This leads to imposing the `$E$-condition' on the trace parameters. For solutions of the `$E$-system' we then define 2-variable isotopy invariants of modular framed links. These lift to $p$-adic isotopy invariants of classical framed links. The Yokonuma-Hecke algebras have topological interpretations in the context of framed knots, of classical knots of singular knots and of transverse knots.

Hyperbolic links associated to Hamiltonian subgraphs in simple $3$-polytopes

We build a large family of hyperbolic links with an explicit decomposition of the complement into right-angled hyperbolic polytopes of finite volume. Namely, in a series of papers A.D.Mednykn and A.Yu.Vesnin introduced a construction that for a given right-angled polytope $P$ in geometry $\mathbb L^3$, $\mathbb R^3$, $\mathbb S^3$, $\mathbb L^2\times \mathbb R$, $\mathbb S^2\times \mathbb R$ and a Hamiltonian cycle, theta-subgraph or $K_4$-subgraph $Γ$ in the $1$-skeleton of $P$ builds a geometric $3$-manifold $N(P,Γ)$ with an involution $τ$ such that $N(P,Γ)/\langleτ\rangle\simeq S^3$. The brach set of the corresponding $2$-sheeted branched covering $N(P,Γ)\to S^3$ is a link $C_Γ\subset S^3$ consisting of trivially embedded circles. This construction reformulated in the language of toric topology works for such a subgraph $Γ$ in any simple $3$-polytope $P$ and gives a topological $3$-manifold $N(P,Γ)$. We give a criterion when $S^3\setminus C_Γ$ has a complete hyperbolic structure of finite volume and generalize this criterion to similar links in $3$-manifolds different from $S^3$. We prove that hyperbolic links $C_Γ$ are parametrized by nonselfcrossing Eulerian cycles, Eulerian theta-subgraphs and Eulerian $K_4$-subgraphs in hyperbolic right-angled $3$-polytopes of finite volume in $\mathbb L^3$ with $0$, $2$ or $4$ finite vertices. The complement $S^3\setminus C_Γ$ is glued of $4$, $8$ or $16$ copies of the corresponding right-angled polytope. We give a criterion when the link $C_Γ$ consists of mutually unlinked circles and prove that if such a link is nontrivial, then it contains the Borromean rings. The latter problem is motivated by the Efimov effect in quantum mechanics.

Knots and the Sierpinski Tetrahedron

In this paper we prove that there are infinitely many knots that cannot be embedded in the 1-skeletons of the finite iterations of the Sierpinski tetrahedron fractal. We do this by proving that such an embedding induces a sphere decomposition of weight at most 6. There are infinitely many knots with spherewidth greater than this.
