Abstract

In connection with cluster algebras, snake graphs and q-integers, Kyungyong Lee and Ralf Schiffler recently found a formula for computing the (normalized) Jones polynomials of rational links in terms of continued fraction expansion of rational numbers. Sophie Morier-Genoud and Valentin Ovsienko introduced q-deformed continued fractions, and showed that by using them each coefficient of the normalized Jones polynomial counted quiver representations of type A_n. In this paper we introduce q-deformed integers defined by pairs of coprime integers, which are motivated by the denominators and the numerators of their q-deformed continued fractions, and give an efficient algorithm for computing the (normalized) Jones polynomials of rational links. Various properties of q-integers defined by pairs of coprime integers are investigated and shown its applications.

Cut pairs and Morse splitting of finitely generated groups

Bowditch's theorem for hyperbolic groups establishes a fundamental correspondence between splittings over two-ended subgroups and the existence of local cut points in the Gromov boundary. While analogous results have been obtained for CAT(0) and relatively hyperbolic groups, no general theorem of this type exists for arbitrary finitely generated groups. The Morse boundary, introduced by Charney-Sultan and extended by Cordes, provides a quasi-isometry invariant boundary for any finitely generated group that naturally generalizes the Gromov boundary. In this paper, we prove that a splitting of a finitely generated group with connected Morse boundary over a two-ended Morse subgroup gives rise to a separating pair of points in the Morse boundary.

Khovanov Homology in Connected Sums

Khovanov homology is an invariant for links in the three sphere that categorizes the Jones polynomial. We extend Khovanov's construction to links in 3-manifolds that are connected sums of orientable interval bundles over surfaces. Cutting the 3-manifold along a separating sphere, we construct type D and type A structures that are invariants of tangles in the two halves following the work of Roberts. Gluing the type D and type A structures along the common boundary recovers the Khovanov homology of the link.

Fox-Milnor condition for concordant knots in homology 3-spheres

This paper will show that the Alexander polynomial of a knot, which is of slice type in an oriented homology 3-sphere, obeys the Fox-Milnor polynomial condition. A relation between Alexander polynomial of concordant knots in an oriented homology 3-sphere is established.
