PRIMALITY OF THETA-CURVES WITH PROPER RATIONAL TANGLE UNKNOTTING NUMBER ONE
Journal Article Transactions of the American Mathematical Society Series B · January 1, 2025 We show that if a composite θ-curve has (proper rational) unknotting number one, then it is the order 2 sum of a (proper rational) unknotting number one knot and a trivial θ-curve. We also prove similar results for 2-strand tangles and knotoids ... Full text CiteKnotting and Linking of Macromolecules

Journal Article Physics Reports · July 18, 2024 The last years have witnessed remarkable advances in our understanding of the emergence and consequences of topological constraints in biological and soft matter. Examples are abundant in relation to (bio)polymeric systems and range from the characterizati ... Full text CiteEducation, Training & Certifications
