{"title":"The Stick Number of Rail ARCS","authors":"Nicholas Cazet","doi":"10.1142/S0218216523500311","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218216523500311","url":null,"abstract":"Consider two parallel lines $ell_1$ and $ell_2$ in $mathbb{R}^3$. A rail arc is an embedding of an arc in $mathbb{R}^3$ such that one endpoint is on $ell_1$, the other is on $ell_2$, and its interior is disjoint from $ell_1cupell_2$. Rail arcs are considered up to rail isotopies, ambient isotopies of $mathbb{R}^3$ with each self-homeomorphism mapping $ell_1$ and $ell_2$ onto themselves. When the manifolds and maps are taken in the piecewise linear category, these rail arcs are called stick rail arcs. The stick number of a rail arc class is the minimum number of sticks, line segments in a p.l. arc, needed to create a representative. This paper will calculate the stick numbers of rail arcs classes with a crossing number at most 2 and use a winding number invariant to calculate the stick numbers of infinitely many rail arc classes. Each rail arc class has two canonically associated knot classes, its under and over companions. This paper also introduces the rail stick number of knot classes, the minimum number of sticks needed to create a rail arcs whose under or over companion is the knot class. The rail stick number is calculated for all knot classes with crossing number at most 9. The stick number of multi-component rail arcs classes is considered as well as the lattice stick number of rail arcs.","PeriodicalId":54790,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45030099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present work extends this technique to polygonal realizations with an odd number of edges and determines the exact superbridge index of many new knots, including the majority of the 9-crossing knots for which it was previously unknown and, for the first time, several 12-crossing knots. Interestingly, at least half of these superbridge-minimizing polygonal realizations do not minimize the stick number of the knot; these seem to be the first such examples. Appendix A gives a complete summary of what is currently known about superbridge indices of prime knots through 10 crossings and Appendix B gives all knots through 16 crossings for which the superbridge index is known.","PeriodicalId":54790,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45425683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The minimal number of triple points among all broken sheet diagrams representing a given surface-knot is its triple point number.
