In the mathematical field of knot theory, the Arf invariant of a knot, named after Cahit Arf, is a knot invariant obtained from a quadratic form associated to a Seifert surface. If F is a Seifert surface of a knot, then the homology group H1(F, Z/2Z) has a quadratic form whose value is the number of full twists mod 2 in a neighborhood of an embedded circle representing an element of the homology group. The Arf invariant of this quadratic form is the Arf invariant of the knot. (Wikipedia).

Clément Maria (10/23/19): Parameterized complexity of quantum invariants of knots
Title: Parameterized complexity of quantum invariants of knots Abstract: We give a general fixed parameter tractable algorithm to compute quantum invariants of knots presented by diagrams, whose complexity is singly exponential in the carving-width (or the tree-width) of the knot diagram.

This knot is very useful for adjusting tie downs quickly and easily. For example, a tarp could be held down by a series of these knots and be made very tight so the wind cannot make it rise, and easily be removed simply by sliding the knots later. A taut line knot is also used to keep larg

Kimihiko Motegi: L-space knots in twist families and satellite L-space knots
Abstract: Twisting a knot K in S3 along a disjoint unknot c produces a twist family of knots {Kn} indexed by the integers. Comparing the behaviors of the Seifert genus g(Kn) and the slice genus g4(Kn) under twistings, we prove that if g(Kn)−g4(Kn) [is less than] C for some constant C for i
