Research Abstract |
A tangled circle in the 3-space is called a knot, and we regard two knots to be equivalent when they can be deformed continuously into each other. One of the most important topological invariants of knots is the Alexander polynomial. We studied the distribution of zeros of the Alexander polynomials of knots, and by using Seifert surfaces, we obtained results on various stability properties. We also studied deformation of surfaces from the viewpoint of their contours. As a result, we gave a new visualization of the sphere eversion by regular isotopy.
