Let (B, T) be an n string tangle, E(T) the exterior cl(B --N(T)) and P the punctured sphere cl(aB -N(T)). The tangle (B, T) is called atomic if it does not contain a nonsplit tangle with k < n essentially. For a string s of T the surface T(s) = PU (E(T) nN( s)) is said to be obtained by performing a

This paper gives an elementary and self-contained proof of Conway's Basic Theorem on rational tangles. This theorem states that two rational tangles are topologically equivalent if and only if they have the same associated rational fraction. Our proof divides into a geometric half that relates the a

We study the combinatorics of fully commutative elements in Coxeter groups of type H n for any n > 2. Using the results, we construct certain canonical bases for non-simply-laced generalized Temperley-Lieb algebras and show how to relate them to morphisms in the category of decorated tangles.  2001
