Cabling
From Knot Atlas
Jump to navigationJump to search
CableComponent[BR[n,js],K] returns the -th cable of the knot with the braid on strands with crossings js = {j1, j2, ...} inserted in it. It also performs the necessary number of -twists on the components of the cable to compensate for a non-zero writhe number of the original knot. Cabling knot 3_1, for instance, and inserting the braid BR[3,{1,2}], we get:

For some special cases, we can check our result using Burau's Theorem.
