✦ Synopsis

Let 70 and yi be Legendrian knots which are isotopic as usual knots, and which have the same obvious invariants rot and link. It seems to be an open question whether yo and 71 are isotopic as Legendrian knots. In the paper we give a positive answer to this question for the (rather restricted) class of Legendrian knots with nonintersecting fronts.

We discuss the diagrammatic theory of knot isotopies in dimension 4. We project a knotted surface to a three-dimensional space and arrange the surface to have generic singularities upon further projection to a plane. We examine the singularities in this plane as an isotopy is performed, and give a f

This paper extends the knot polynomial classification of DNA knots and catenanes, by incorporating a measure of supercoiling. Cozzarelli, Millett, and White have used the Jones polynomial and the generalised 2-variable polynomial to describe the products of iterated Tn 3 resoivase recombination and

In this paper we are dealing with coordinatization of a given affine plane d by a PTR1). Such coordinatizations were first investigated in [4]. In [5] and [6] the necessary and sufficient conditions that a PTRZ coordinatizes a translation plane, a Desarguesian plane and a Pappian plane were deduced.

A Heegaard splitting for S 3 gives a 1-bridge presentation for a knot k ⊂ S 3 if the knot intersects each handlebody of the Heegaard splitting in an arc which forms the interior part of the boundary of a disk in the handlebody. The minimal g for which the knot has a 1-bridge presentation of genus g
