Global curvature, ideal knots and models of DNA packing
Global curvature characterizes knot tightness.
Overview and acknowledgements
During a lunch-time discussion on the ideal shapes of knots and such, the concept of the "global curvature function" of a space curve was born. This function is related to, but distinct from, standard local curvature, and is connected to various physically appealing properties of a curve. Global curvature provides a concise characterization of curve thickness, and of certain ideal shapes of knots as have been investigated within the context of DNA. Moreover, global curvature is connected to the writhing number of a space curve and has applications in the study of self-contact and packing problems for rods. Some of the figures here are based on numerical data from
It is a pleasure to thank A. Stasiak V. Katritch and P. Pieranski for making their knot data available.

Bicycle tracks
C. Dennis Thron has called attention to the following passage from The Adventure of the Priory School , by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: `This track, as you perceive, was made by a rider who was going from the direction of the school.' `Or towards it?' `No, no, my dear Watson. The more deeply sunk impression is, of course, the hind wheel, upon which the weight rests. You perceive several places where it has passed across and obliterated the more shallow mark of the front one. It was undoubtedly heading away from the school.'
Problems
Discuss this passage. Does Holmes know what he's talking about?
Try to come up with a method for telling which way a bike has gone by looking at the track it has left. There are all kinds of possibilities here. Which methods do you honestly think will work, and under what conditions? For example, does your method only work if the bike has passed through a patch of wet cement? Would it work for tracks on the beach? Tracks on a patch of dry sidewalk between puddles? Tracks through short, dewy grass? Tracks along a thirty-foot length of brown package-wrapping paper, made by a bike whose tires have been carefully coated with mud, and which has been just ridden long enough before reaching the paper so that the tracks are not appreciably darker at one end of the paper than the other?
Try to determine the direction of travel for the idealized bike tracks in Figure Figure 1: Which way did the bicycle go?

    What is Knot Theory?
    Date: 03/10/98 at 23:46:23 From: keatha Subject: the knot theory Dear Dr. Math, In order for me to complete my project on knot theory, I need a question, hypothesis, and a purpose. I have this information, I just want you to proofread it to see if I need to add anything or delete anything. Question: What is Knot Theory? Purpose: To prove that knot theory is related to topology. Hypothesis: If topology deals with the bending of objects, then it (knot theory) is related to topology. Thanks a million, Keatha Date: 03/11/98 at 10:32:24 From: Doctor Sonya Subject: Re: the knot theory Dear Keatha, I just wrote a big paper on knot theory. What a great topic to choose. Your question is good, and your hypothesis is correct that topology deals with the bending of objects, and that topology is related to knot theory. However, if you really want to answer the question, "What is knot theory?" I don't think, "Knot theory is related to topology." is enough of an answer. When you get to the real details of it, knot theory is also closely related to modern algebra (although you'd never know it from all the pretty pictures of knots!). The most exciting thing about knot theory that deals with the bending and twisting of knots is something called the "Jones Polynomial," discovered by a mathematician named Jones and written about by Louis Kauffman. If you still have to do more research, this might be interesting for you to include. Also, take a look at "The Knot Theory Home Page"

    Problems in Knot Theory There are already several collections of problems in knot theory available. So this is mainly a collection of problems of personal interest. Feel free to send me any comments you might have: maybe the answer is obvious, maybe the answer exists already in literature, maybe the problem should be attributed more appropriately, etc. Also, it is welcome if anyone would like to suggest some problems to this collection. Nevertheless, since this is a personal collection, I reserve the right to decide whether to put the suggested problems into this collection according to my own taste. Surgery modification is a procedure of modifying a link in or by performing a Dehn surgery on an unknotted circle having linking number zero with all components of the link in question. Surgery equivalence is then the equivalence relation generated by surgery modification. The classification of links up to surgery equivalence is done by J. Levine (Topology,1987). We may refine the notion of surgery modification as follows. For simplicity, let us consider only links with vanishing linking numbers. If we assume further that the unknotted circle used to perform a surgery modification has vanishing Milnor's triple linking numbers with other componenets of the given link, we call such a surgery modification of "second order". It can be shown that the Sato-Levine invariant is invariant under surgery modification of second order. Classify links with zero linking numbers up to surgery equivalence of second order.

  • I collaborate with Rodolfo Gambini, of the University of the Republic in Montevideo, Uruguay, our collaboration has been going on since 1990. We coauthored a book "Loops, knots, gauge theories and quantum gravity" in 1996 and have published many papers together. We study the quantization of general relativity using canonical methods. There is a small community pursuing this kind of research, which is complementary to the mainstream approach to quantum gravity: string theory. String theorists believe that one cannot quantize general relativity because it is not a fundamental theory and one has to replace it with string theory in order to quantize it. General relativity will be an "effective" "low energy" theory.

    Knot theory studies the placement of one-dimensional objects called strings [23,24,25] in a three-dimensional space.
    Figure 5.6: Planar diagrams of knots: (a) the trivial or unknot ; (b) figure-eight knot ; (c) left-handed trefoil ; (d) right-handed trefoil; (e) square knot ; (f) granny knot.
    A simple and accurate picture of a knot is formed by taking a rope and splicing the ends together to form a closed curve. A mathematician's knot is a non-self-intersecting smooth closed curve (a string ) embedded in three-space. A two-dimensional planar diagram of a knot is easy to draw. As illustrated in Figure , we can project a knot onto a plane using a solid (broken) line to indicate an overcross (undercross). A collection of knots is called a link (Fig.
    Figure 5.7: Link diagrams: (a) Hopf link ; (b) Borromean rings ; (c) Whitehead link
    The same knot can be placed in space and drawn in planar diagram in an infinite number of different ways. The equivalence of two different presentations of the same knot is usually very difficult to see. Classification of knots and links is a fundamental problem in topology. Given two separate knots or links we would like to determine when two knots are the same or different. Two knots (or links) are said to be

    Knots and Links in Braid notation
    This document (this page with its associated tables) is intended as a resource for anyone interested in knots and links. Every knot up to 11 crossings and every link up to 10 crossings is listed here. The main feature of the listings is that every knot and link is shown with both its numeric notation and a braid notation. The numeric notation allows cross-reference with other works, while the braid notation is by far the easiest form to manipulate by computer. An n -crossing knot or link has a braid notation on at most 5/9.( n +2) strings [A]

About knot theory (Topic) Knot theory is the study of knots and links Roughly a knot is a simple closed curve in , and two knots are considered equivalent if and only if one can be smoothly deformed into another. This will often be used as a working definition as it is simple and appeals to intuition. Unfortunately this definition can not be taken too seriously because it includes many pathological cases, or wild knots, such as the connected sum of an infinite number of trefoils. Furthermore one must be careful about defining a ``smooth deformation'', or all knots might turn out to be equivalent! (We shouldn't be allowed to shrink part of a knot down to nothing.) Links are defined in terms of knots, so once we have a definition for knots we have no trouble defining them.

    Question How can knot theory help us understand DNA packing? By thinking of DNA as a knot, we can use knot theory to estimate how hard DNA is to unknot
    http://www.tiem.utk.edu/~gross/bioed/webmodules/DNAknot.html
    DNA AND KNOT THEORY Introduction: DNA is the genetic material of all cells, containing coded information about cellular molecules and processes. DNA consists of two polynucleotide strands twisted around each other in a double helix. The first step in cellular division is to replicate DNA so that copies can be distributed to daughter cells. Additionally, DNA is involved in transcribing proteins that direct cell growth and activities. However, DNA is tightly packed into genes and chromosomes. In order for replication or transcription to take place, DNA must first unpack itself so that it can interact with enzymes. DNA packing can be visualized as two very long strands that have been intertwined millions of times, tied into knots, and subjected to successive coiling. However, replication and transcription are much easier to accomplish if the DNA is neatly arranged rather than tangled up in knots. Enzymes are essential to unpacking DNA. Enzymes act to slice through individual knots and reconnect strands in a more orderly way. Importance: We can gain insight into the unknotting of DNA by using principles of topology. Topologists study the invariant properties of geometric objects, such as knots. Tightly packed DNA in the genes must quickly unknot itself in order for replication or transcription to occur. This is a topological problem.
