    Satoh and Taniguchi introduced the [Formula: see text]-writhe [Formula: see text] for each non-zero integer [Formula: see text], which is an invariant for virtual knots. The [Formula: see text]-writhes give the coefficients of some polynomial invariants for virtual knots including the index polynomial, the odd writhe polynomial and the affine index polynomial. It is obvious that the virtualization of a real crossing is an unknotting operation for virtual knots. The values of [Formula: see text]-writhes changed by some local moves are calculated. However for the virtualization, it is unknown. In this paper, we show that for any given non-zero integer [Formula: see text] and any given integer [Formula: see text], there exists a virtual knot whose unknotting number by the virtualization is one and the value of the [Formula: see text]-writhe equals [Formula: see text]. Namely, the virtualization of a real crossing changes the value of [Formula: see text]-writhe by any given integer [Formula: see text].

    We consider a local move, denoted by., on knot diagrams or virtual knot diagrams. If two (virtual) knots K-1 and K-2 are transformed into each other by a finite sequence of lambda moves, the lambda distance between K-1 and K-2 is the minimum number of times of lambda moves needed to transform K-1 into K-2. By Gamma(lambda)(K), we denote the set of all (virtual) knots which can be transformed into a (virtual) knot K by lambda moves. A geodesic graph for Gamma(lambda)(K) is the graph which satisfies the following: The vertex set consists of (virtual) knots in Gamma(lambda)(K) and for any two vertices K-1 and K-2, the distance on the graph from K-1 to K-2 coincides with the lambda distance between K-1 and K-2. When we consider virtual knots and a crossing change as a local move lambda, we show that the N-dimensional lattice graph for any given natural number N and any tree are geodesic graphs for Gamma(lambda)(K).

    A local move called a C-n-move is closely related to Vassiliev invariants. The C-n-distance between two knots K and L, denoted by d(Cn) (K, L), is the minimal number of C-n-moves needed to transform K into L. In the case of n >= 3, we show that for any pair of knots K-1 and K-2 with d(Cn) (K-1, K-2) = 1 and for any given natural number m, there exist infinitely many knots J(j) (j = 1, 2,...) such that dC(n) (K1, J(j)) = d(Cn) (J(j), K-2) = 1 and they have the same Vassiliev invariants of order less than or equal to m.

    Adams et al. introduce the notion of almost alternating links; non-alternating links which have a projection whose one crossing change yields an alternating projection. For an alternating knot K, we consider the number Alm(K) of almost alternating knots which have a projection whose one crossing change yields K. We show that for any given natural number n, there is an alternating knot K with Alm(K) >= n.

    After the works of Kauffman-Banchoff and Yamasaki, it is known that a local move called the pass move is strongly related to the Arf invariant, which is equivalent to the parity of the coefficient of the degree two term in the Conway polynomial. Our main result is the following: There exists a pair of knots such that their Conway polynomials coincide, and that the sets of Conway polynomials of knots obtained from them by a single pass move do not coincide.

    It is shown that two knots can be transformed into each other by C-n-moves if and only if they have the same Vassiliev invariants of order less than n. Consequently, a C-n-move cannot change the Vassiliev invariants of order less than n and may change those of order more than or equal to n. In this paper, we consider the coefficient of the Conway polynomial as a Vassiliev invariant and show that a Cn-move changes the nth coefficient of the Conway polynomial by +/- 2, or 0. And for the 2mth coefficient (2m > n), it can change by p or p + 1 for any given integer p.

    By the works of Gusarov [2] and Habiro [3], it is known that a local move called the Cn move is strongly related to Vassiliev invariants of order less than n. The coefficient of the zn term in the Conway polynomial is known to be a Vassiliev invariant of order n. In this note, we will consider to what degree the relationship is strong with respect to Conway polynomial. Let K be a knot, and KCn the set of knots obtained from a knot K by a single Cn move. Let ∇K be the set of the Conway polynomials {∇K(z)}K∈K, for a set of knots K. Our main result is the following: There exists a pair of knots K1, K2 such that ∇K1 = ∇K2, and ∇K1 Cn ≠ ∇K2 Cn. In other words, the Cn Gordian complex is not homogeneous with respect to Conway polynomial. © World Scientific Publishing Company.

    Hirasawa, and Uchida defined the Gordian complex of knots which is a simplicial complex whose vertices consist of all knot types in S-3 by using "a crossing change". In this paper, we define the C-k-Gordian complex of knots which is an extension of the Gordian complex of knots. Let k be a natural number more than 2 and we show that for any knot K-0 and any given natural number n, there exists a family of knots {K-0, K-1,..., K-n} such that for any pair (K-i, K-j) of distinct elements of the family, the C-k-distance d(Ck) (K-i, K-j) = 1.

    In this note, we will study Delta link homotopy, which is an equivalence relation of ordered and oriented link types. Previously, a necessary condition was given by a pair of numerical invariants derived from the Conway polynomials for two link types to be Delta link homotopic. In this note, we will show that, for two component links, if their pairs of numerical invariants coincide then the two links are Delta link homotopic.

    By the same way for knots, it can be proved that if a link L is transformed into L' by a C-n-move, the difference of the Vassiliev invariants of order n between L and L' is equal to the value of the one-branch tree diagram corresponding to the C-n-move. In this paper we show that a C-n-move for a link whose one-branch tree diagram has a cut edge cannot change the Vassiliev invariant of order n. And from this, we can give some examples of links that have the same Vassiliev invariants of order less than n and cannot be transformed into each other by C-n-moves.

    In this note, we will study A link homotopy (or self Delta-equivalence), which is an equivalence relation of ordered and oriented link types. Previously, a necessary condition is given in the terms of Conway polynomials for two link types to be Delta link homotopic. A pair of numerical invariants delta(1) and delta(2) classifies all (ordered and oriented) prime 2-component link types with seven crossings or less up to Delta link homotopy. We will show here that for any pair of integers n(1) and n(2) there exists a 2-component link K such that delta(1) (K) = n(1) and delta(2) (K) = n(2) provided that at least one of n(1) and n(2) is even.

    We show that the Vassiliev invariants of the knots contained in an embedding of a graph G into R-3 satisify certain equations that are independent of the choice of the embedding of G. By a similar observation we de ne certain edge-homotopy invariants and vertex-homotopy invariants of spatial graphs based on the Vassiliev invariants of the knots contained in a spatial graph. A graph G is called adaptable if, given a knot type for each cycle of G, there is an embedding of G into R-3 that realizes all of these knot types. As an application we show that a certain planar graph is not adaptable.
