| Research Abstract |
Ichihara and myself introduced new simplicial complexes by using various invariants and local moves for knots, which give generalizations of the Gordian complex. We focused on the simplicial complex defined by using the Alexander-Conway polynomial and the Delta-move, and showed that the simplicial complex is Gromov hyperbolic and quasi-isometric to the real line.
I studied the characterization problem on the Alexander polynomial of an alternating knot. In particular, I constructed infinitely many Alexander polynomials which satisfy a necessary condition to become the Alexander polynomials of alternating knots but which cannot be realized by an alternating knot.
