Research Abstract |
This study is concerned with a research on the structure of knot invariants (possibly) detecting the unknot. More precisely, we focus on the geometric structure of the character variety X(K), which is defined by the zeros of some algebraic polynomials associated with a knot K. In fact, we found that the section (subvariety) S(K) of X(K) defined by a special equation can detect the unknot in the set of small knots. This result can give some applications to the knot theory.
