Inequalities between the $2$-, $3$-, $4$-, and $5$-crossing numbers have been previously established. We prove $c_9(K)leq c_3(K)-2$ for all knots $K$ that are not the trivial, trefoil, or figure-eight knot. We show this inequality is optimal and obtain previously unknown values of $c_9(K)$. We generalize this inequality to prove that $c_{13}(K)<c_{5}(K)$ for a certain set of classes of knots.","PeriodicalId":54790,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45149761","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}

Alexander numbering is a numbering of [Formula: see text] to arcs of a classical link diagram which is due to a numbering to disks of a complement of a link diagram in [Formula: see text]. Every classical link diagram admits Alexander numbering. A virtual link diagram corresponds to a link diagram in a closed oriented surface. Some virtual link diagrams do not admit any Alexander numbering. If a virtual link diagram admits Alexander numbering, we call it an almost classical virtual link diagram. In this paper, we construct a map from the set of virtual link diagrams to that of almost classical virtual link diagrams. It induces a map from the set of virtual links to that of almost classical virtual links. Using this map, we define a kind of Goeritz matrix of virtual link diagrams and introduce invariants of virtual links.","PeriodicalId":54790,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45527011","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}
