Virtual Links with Finite Medial Bikei

Chien, Julien 01 January 2017 (has links)
This paper begins with a basic overview of the key concepts of classical and virtual knot theory. After introductions to concepts such as knot diagrams, Reidemeister moves, and virtual links, the paper discusses the bikei algebraic structure and the fundamental bikei. The paper describes an algorithm that converts fundamental bikei presentations to matrix representations, and then completes the resulting matrices. These completed matrices can return the value of two link invariants.

Introducing Multi-Tribrackets: A Ternary Coloring Invariant

Pauletich, Evan 01 January 2019 (has links)
We begin by introducing knots and links generally and identifying various geometric, polynomial, and integer-based knot and link invariants. Of particular importance to this paper are ternary operations and Niebrzydowski tribrackets defined in [12], [10]. We then introduce multi-tribrackets, ternary algebraic structures following the specified region coloring rules with di↵erent operations at multi-component and single component crossings. We will explore examples of each of the invariants and conclude with remarks on the direction of the introduced multi-tribracket theory.

Sur une anomalie du développement perturbatif de la théorie de Chern-Simons / On an anomaly of the perturbative expansion of Chern-Simons theory

Corbineau, Kévin 21 October 2016 (has links)
Maxim Kontsevich a défini un invariant $Z$ des sphères d'homologie rationnelle orientées de dimension $3$ en 1992, en poursuivant l'étude initiée par Edward Witten du développement perturbatif de la théorie de Chern-Simons.L'invariant $Z$ de Kontsevich est gradué. Il s'écrit $Z=(Z_n)_{nin NN }$, où $Z_n$ prend ses valeurs dans un espace $CA_n$ engendré par des diagrammes trivalents à $2n$ sommets appelésdiagrammes de Feynman-Jacobi de degré $n$.L'invariant $Z$ apparait d'abord comme un invariant $Z(M,tau)$ des sphères d'homologie rationnelle $M$ de dimension $3$ munies d'une parallélisation $tau$.Il est l'exponentielle d'un invariant $z(M,tau)=(z_n(M,tau))_{nin NN }$dont la partie de degré $n$ compte algébriquement les plongements des diagrammes de Feynman-Jacobi connexes à $2n$ sommets assujettis à vérifier certaines conditions.On peut associer un invariant homotopique entier $p_1(tau)$ aux parallélisations $tau$ des variétés orientées de dimension $3$, et il existe un élément $beta=(beta_n)_{nin NN}$ de $CA_n$ appelé anomalie tel que$$z_n(M,tau)-p_1(tau)beta_n$$ soit indépendant de $tau$ et noté $z_n(M)$.$$Z(M)=expleft((z_n(M))_{nin NN}right).$$On sait depuis l'introduction de cette constante par Greg Kuperberg et Dylan Thurston en 1999 que $beta_n=0$ si $n$ est pair et que $beta_1 neq 0$.Cette thèse porte sur le calcul de la première valeur inconnue $beta_3$. Elle en présente des expressions très simplifiées et implémentables sur ordinateur. / The Kontsevich invariant $Z$ of rational homology $3-$ sphere was constructed by Maxim Kontsevich in 1992 using configuration space integrals.This invariant is graduated. It can be written as $Z=(Z_n)_{nin NN}$, where $Z_n$ values in the space $mathcal{A}_n$ of jacobi diagram with order $n$. A Jacobi diagram with order $n$ is a trivalent graph with $2n$ vertices. At a first point, we can see $Z$ as an invariant $Z(M,tau)$ of rational homology $3-$spheres equipped with a trivialisation $tau$ so that $Z$ is the exponential of an invariant $z(M,tau)=(z_n(M,tau))_{ninNN}$. In fact, we can say that $z_n(M,tau)$ counts the number of embeddings of connected jacobi diagrams with order $n$ with some additionnal conditions. We can associate an homotopic integer invariant $p_1(tau)$ to each trivialisation $tau$ of oriented $3-$manifolds and it exists $beta=(beta_n)_{ninNN}$, where $beta_ninmathcal{A}_n$ that is called anomaly so that $$z_n(M,tau) - p_1(tay)$$ is independant of $tau$. We name it $z_n(M)$ and $$Z(M)=exp((z_n(M)_{nin NN})).$$Greg Kuperberg and Dylan Thurston introduced this constant in 1999. We already know that $beta_n=0$ if $n$ is even and $beta_1neq 0$. This thesis is about the computation of $beta_3$. It describes simplified expressions of $beta_3$, and this expressions can be compute with a computer.
