| Research Abstract |
I constructed an example of a pair of closed 4-braids with the following properties; (1) they are related by a Hopf-flype, (2) they are distinct as transverse knots, (3) they have the same self-linking number. I also constructed a similar example of a pair of a closed 3-braid and a closed 7-braid. I determined 2-bridge numbers of torus knots of type (p, q), where p and q are integers. I also determined 2-bridge numbers of knots that had alternating diagrams of closed braids. An invariant of a mapping class group of a surface (fixing its boundary) is defined in bordered Floer theory. When a surface has one boundary component and is of genus 2, I calculated this invariant for elements in Torelli group. Torelli group is a subgroup of a mapping class group of a surface that acts trivially on its first homology group.
