Knots and frieze patterns (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
(joint work with Prof. Takeyoshi Kogiso (Josai University)) In the early 1970s, Conway and Coxeter introduced frieze patterns of positive integers arranged under the unimodular rule ad-bc=1, and showed that they are classified by triangulations of convex polygons. Currently, the frieze patterns by Conway and Coxeter are spotlighted in connection with cluster algebras which are introduced by Fomin and Zelevinsky in the early 2000s.

Working with Takeyoshi Kogiso in Josai University the speaker study on relationship between rational links and Conway-Coxeter friezes through ancestor triangles of rational numbers introduced by Shuji Yamada in Kyoto Sangyo University, and show that rational links are characterized by Conway-Coxeter friezes of zigzag type. At nearly the same time Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko also introduce the concept of q-deformation of rational numbers based on continued fraction expansions, and derive closely related results to our research. In this seminar we will talk about an outline of these results.
