| Research Abstract |
When n=1, 2 and 3, we construct a pair of transverse knots S and T satisfying the following properties (1)-(4) ;
(1) S(n) is obtained from a transverse knot S by n stabilizations,
(2) the topological knot type of T is the same as that of S(n),
(3) the self-linking number of T is equal to that of S(n), and
(4) T is not transversely isotopic to S(n).
A topological knot type satisfying the above properties (2)-(4) is called "transversely non-simple." It was not known whether there exist transversely non-simple knot types until recently. In particular, this is the first example of a pair of transversely non-simple knots such that one of the pair admits at least two destabilizations.
