We prove that, in order to derive the HOMFLYPT skein module of the lens spaces [Formula: see text] from the HOMFLYPT skein module of the solid torus, [Formula: see text], it suffices to solve an infinite system of equations obtained by imposing on the Lambropoulou invariant [Formula: see text] for knots and links in the solid torus, braid band moves that are performed only on the first moving strand of elements in a set [Formula: see text], augmenting the basis [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text].

In this paper, we work toward the Homflypt skein module of the lens spaces [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] using braids. In particular, we establish the connection between [Formula: see text], the Homflypt skein module of the solid torus ST, and [Formula: see text] and arrive at an infinite system, whose solution corresponds to the computation of [Formula: see text]. We start from the Lambropoulou invariant [Formula: see text] for knots and links in ST, the universal analog of the Homflypt polynomial in ST, and a new basis, [Formula: see text], of [Formula: see text] presented in [I. Diamantis and S. Lambropoulou, A new basis for the Homflypt skein module of the solid torus, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 220(2) (2016) 577–605, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jpaa.2015.06.014 , arXiv:1412.3642 [math.GT]]. We show that [Formula: see text] is obtained from [Formula: see text] by considering relations coming from the performance of braid band move(s) [bbm] on elements in the basis [Formula: see text], where the bbm are performed on any moving strand of each element in [Formula: see text]. We do that by proving that the system of equations obtained from diagrams in ST by performing bbm on any moving strand is equivalent to the system obtained if we only consider elements in the basic set [Formula: see text]. The importance of our approach is that it can shed light on the problem of computing skein modules of arbitrary c.c.o. [Formula: see text]-manifolds, since any [Formula: see text]-manifold can be obtained by surgery on [Formula: see text] along unknotted closed curves. The main difficulty of the problem lies in selecting from the infinitum of band moves some basic ones and solving the infinite system of equations.

Published Result

The purpose of this study is to establish the topological properties of three-dimensional manifolds which admit Morse – Smale flows without fixed points (non-singular or NMS-flows) and give examples of such manifolds that are not lens spaces. Despite the fact that it is known that any such manifold is a union of circular handles, their topology can be investigated additionally and refined in the case of a small number of orbits. For example, in the case of a flow with two non-twisted (having a tubular neighborhood homeomorphic to a solid torus) orbits, the topology of such manifolds is established exactly: any ambient manifold of an NMS-flow with two orbits is a lens space. Previously, it was believed that all prime manifolds admitting NMS-flows with at most three non-twisted orbits have the same topology. Methods. In this paper, we consider suspensions over Morse – Smale diffeomorphisms with three periodic orbits. These suspensions, in turn, are NMS-flows with three periodic trajectories. Universal coverings of the ambient manifolds of these flows and lens spaces are considered. Results. In this paper, we present a countable set of pairwise distinct simple 3-manifolds admitting NMS-flows with exactly three non-twisted orbits. Conclusion. From the results of this paper it follows that there is a countable set of pairwise distinct three-dimensional manifolds other than lens spaces, which refutes the previously published result that any simple orientable manifold admitting an NMS-flow with at most three orbits is lens space.

Knots And Links

An important geometric invariant of links in lens spaces is the lift in the 3-sphere of a link L in L(p, q), that is the counterimage [Formula: see text] of L under the universal covering of L(p, q). If lens spaces are defined as a lens with suitable boundary identifications, then a link in L(p, q) can be represented by a disk diagram, that is to say, a regular projection of the link on a disk. Starting from this diagram of L, we obtain a diagram of the lift [Formula: see text] in S3. Using this construction, we are able to find different knots and links in L(p, q) having equivalent lifts, that is to say, we cannot distinguish different links in lens spaces only from their lift.

We extend the Jones polynomial for links in S3 to links in L(p, q), p>0. Specifically, we show that the (2, ∞)-skein module of L(p, q) is free with [p/2]+1 generators. In the case of S1×S2 the skein module is infinitely generated.

Almost All

We classify non-affine, prime knots in the solid torus up to 6 crossings. We establish which of these are amphicheiral: almost all knots with symmetric Jones polynomial are amphicheiral, but in a few cases we use stronger invariants, such as HOMFLYPT and Kauffman skein modules, to show that some such knots are not amphicheiral. Examples of knots with the same Jones polynomial that are different in the HOMFLYPT skein module are presented. It follows from our computations, that the wrapping conjecture is true for all knots up to 6 crossings.

Mathematical Standpoint

The torsion of beams of L-cross-section was studied for the first time, from a mathematical standpoint, by Kotter [1]. He solved the problem in the case of an L-section both arms of which are infinite. Some time later, Trefftz [2], in his work on the torsion of beams of polygonal cross-section, applied his method also to an infinite L-section. In 1934, Seth [3] solved the case of a beam of an L-section with only one infinite arm. In 1949, Arutyanyan [4] solved the torsion problem of an L-section that has both arms finite, but of equal length, reducing the problem to that of solving an infinite system of equations.

Technical Details

The theory of solution for quantum field functional equations as developped in II and III for a suitable test problem of quantum mechanics is investigated in low approximations. In Sect. 1 the functional formulation of the anharmonic oscillator is once more given and in Sect. 2 general translational equivalent functional equations. The expansion of the physical state functional into series of unsymmetrical and symmetrical base functionals and the representation of the functional equations for such expansions are discussed in Sect. 3. In the next Sect. 4 the unsymmetrical DYSON representation is investigated and the explicit representation of the smeared out functional equation by an infinite system of equations is derived. Then in Sect. 5 and 6 the system of equations is truncated for N = 3 and the corresponding eigenvalue equation is considered. The same is done in Sect. 7 and 8 for the HERWITTE representation. In the following Sect. 9 the original functional equation in a not smeared out form is treated in the DYSON representation and the corresponding system of unsymmetrized equations is given. Furthermore in Sect. 10 the N = 3 approximation together with other possibilities is investigated again. Finally the numerical results of our calculations for eigenvalues are stated and discussed. In the appendices technical details are derived.
