In this paper we show how to place Michael Berrys discovery of knotted zeros in the quantum states of hydrogen in the context of general knot theory and in the context of our formulations for quantum knots. Berry gave a time independent wave function for hydrogen, as a map from three space to the complex plane and such that the inverse image of zero in the complex plane contains a knotted curve in three space. We show that for knots in three space this is a generic situation in that every smooth knot K in three space has a smooth classifying map f from three space to the complex plane such that the inverse image of zero is the knot K. This leaves open the question of characterizing just when such f are wave-functions for quantum systems. One can compare this result with the work of Mark Dennis and his collaborators, with the work of Daniel Peralta-Salas and his collaborators, and with the work of Lee Rudolph. Our approach provides great generality to the structure of knotted zeros of a wavefunction and opens up many new avenues for research in the relationships of quantum theory and knot theory. We show how this classifying construction can be related our previous work on two dimensional and three dimensional mosaic and lattice quantum knots.
An initially knotted light field will stay knotted if it satisfies a set of nonlinear, geometric constraints, i.e. the null conditions, for all space-time. However, the question of when an initially null light field stays null has remained challengin
In 1965, E. C. Zeeman proved that the (+/-)-twist spin of any knotted sphere in (n-1)-space is unknotted in the n-sphere. In 1991, Y. Marumoto and Y. Nakanishi gave an alternate proof of Zeemans theorem by using the moving picture method. In this pap
Let L be a link in a thickened annulus. We show that its sutured annular Khovanov homology carries an action of the exterior current algebra of the Lie algebra sl_2. When L is an m-framed n-cable of a knot K in the three-sphere, its sutured annular K
We construct infinitely many families of Lorenz knots that are satellites but not cables, giving counterexamples to a conjecture attributed to Morton. We amend the conjecture to state that Lorenz knots that are satellite have companion a Lorenz knot,
A Chebyshev knot is a knot which admits a parametrization of the form $ x(t)=T_a(t); y(t)=T_b(t) ; z(t)= T_c(t + phi), $ where $a,b,c$ are pairwise coprime, $T_n(t)$ is the Chebyshev polynomial of degree $n,$ and $phi in RR .$ Chebyshev knots are n
