An axis of a link projection is a closed curve which lies symmetrically on each region of the link projection. In this paper we define axis systems of link projections and characterize axis systems of the standard projections of twist knots.

We define a decomposition of link projections whose pieces we call atoroidal graphs. We describe a surgery operation on these graphs and show that all atoroidal graphs can be generated by performing surgery repeatedly on a family of well known link projections. This gives a method of enumerating atoroidal graphs and hence link projections by recomposing the pieces of the decomposition.
An oriented link projection is the image of a generic immersion of oriented circles into the 2-sphere. The circle arrangement of a link projection is a disjoint union of unoriented circles on the 2-sphere obtained by orientation-incoherent smoothing at each crossing point. We show that two oriented link projections have the same circle arrangement if and only if they are transformed into each other by certain local moves. We also show that every odd (resp. even) component link has a link projection whose circle arrangement consists of exactly one (resp. two) circles.

Let Πbe a link projection in S^2. John Conway and later Francis Bonahon and Larry Siebenmann undertook to split $Π$ into canonical pieces. These pieces received different names: basic or polyhedral diagrams on one hand, rational, algebraic, bretzel, arborescent diagrams on the other hand. This paper proposes a thorough presentation of the theory, known to happy fews. We apply the existence and uniqueness theorem for the canonical decomposition to the classification of Haseman circles and to the localisation of the flypes.
To better understand the fundamental quandle of a knot or link, it can be useful to look at finite quotients of the quandle. One such quotient is the $n$-quandle (or, when $n=2$, the {\em involutory} quandle). Hoste and Shanahan \cite{HS2} gave a complete list of the links which have finite $n$-quandles; it remained to give explicit descriptions of these quandles. This has been done for several cases in \cite{CHMS} and \cite{HS1}; in the current work we continue this project and explicitly describe the Cayley graphs for the finite involutory quandles of two-bridge links with an axis.
We show that one can interweave an unknot into any non-alternating connected projection of a link so that the resulting augmented projection is alternating.

A triple crossing is a crossing in a projection of a knot or link that has three strands of the knot passing straight through it. A triple crossing projection is a projection such that all of the crossings are triple crossings. We prove that every knot and link has a triple crossing projection and then investigate c_3(K), which is the minimum number of triple crossings in a projection of K. We obtain upper and lower bounds on c_3(K) in terms of the traditional crossing number and show that both are realized. We also relate triple crossing number to the span of the bracket polynomial and use th…
An increasing sequence of integers is said to be universal for knots and links if every knot and link has a projection to the sphere such that the number of edges of each complementary face of the projection comes from the given sequence. This paper is an investigation into which sequences, either finite or infinite, are universal. We also consider how to minimize the number of odd-sided faces for projections of knots and links with n components.
A quadruple crossing is a crossing in a projection of a knot or link that has four strands of the knot passing straight through it. A quadruple crossing projection is a projection such that all of the crossings are quadruple crossings. In a previous paper, it was proved that every knot and link has a quadruple crossing projection and hence, every knot has a minimal quadruple crossing number. In this paper, we investigate quadruple crossing number, and in particular, use the span of the bracket polynomial to determine quadruple crossing number for a variety of knots and links.
Given a link projection $P$ and a link $L$, it is natural to ask whether it is possible that $P$ is a projection of $L$. Taniyama answered this question for the cases in which $L$ is a prime knot or link with crossing number at most five. Recently, Takimura settled the issue for the knot $6_2$. We answer this question for the case in which $L$ is the link $L6n1$.

This paper presents a new algorithm "A" for constructing Seifert surfaces from n-bridge projections of links. The algorithm produces minimal complexity surfaces for large classes of braids and alternating links. In addition, we consider a family of knots for which the canonical genus is strictly greater than the genus, (g_c(K) > g(K)), and show that A builds surfaces realizing the knot genus g(K). We also present a generalization of Seifert's algorithm which may be used to construct surfaces representing arbitrary relative second homology classes in a link complement.
Generalizing previous constructions, we present a dual pair of decompositions of the complement of a link L into bipyramids, given any multi-crossing projection of L. When L is hyperbolic, this gives new upper bounds on the volume of L given its multi-crossing projection. These bounds are realized by three closely related infinite tiling weaves.
In this paper we present a systematic method to generate prime knot and prime link minimal triple-point projections, and then classify all classical prime knots and prime links with triple-crossing number at most four. We also extend the table of known knots and links with triple-crossing number equal to five. By introducing a new type of diagrammatic move, we reduce the number of generating moves on triple-crossing diagrams, and derive a minimal generating set of moves connecting triple-crossing diagrams of the same knot.
We give a simple example showing that a knot or link diagram that lies in the ${\mathbb{Z}}^2$ lattice is not necessarily the projection of a lattice stick knot or link in the ${\mathbb{Z}}^3$ lattice, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for when a knot or link diagram that lies in the ${\mathbb{Z}}^2$ lattice is in fact the projection of a lattice stick knot or link.
We give a shorter and simpler proof of the result of [2], which gives a necessary and sufficient condition for when a lattice diagram is the projection of a lattice link.

An $n$-crossing projection of a link $L$ is a projection of $L$ onto a plane such that $n$ points on $L$ are superimposed on top of each other at every crossing. We prove that for all $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and all links $L$, the inequality $$c_{2k+1}(L) \geq \frac{2g(L) + r(L)-1}{k^2}$$ holds, where $c_{2k+1}(L)$, $g(L)$, and $r(L)$ are the $(2k+1)$-crossing number, $3$-genus, and number of components of $L$ respectively. This result is used to prove a new bound on the odd crossing numbers of torus knots and generalizes a result of Jablonowski. We also prove a new upper bound on the $5$-crossing …

We consider hyperbolic links that admit alternating projections on surfaces in compact, irreducible 3-manifolds. We show that, under some mild hypotheses, the volume of the complement of such a link is bounded below in terms of a Kauffman bracket function defined on link diagrams on the surface. In the case that the 3-manifold is a thickened surface, this Kauffman bracket function leads to a Jones-type polynomial that is an isotopy invariant of links. We show that coefficients of this polynomial provide 2-sided linear bounds on the volume of hyperbolic alternating links in the thickened surfac…
