Geometric Invariants for Knots in the Solid Torus
by
Khaled Bataineh
New Mexico State University

We study some geometric invariants for knots in the solid torus. Some of these invariants generalize geometric invariants for knots in the three-sphere and some of them are special for the solid torus. We give lower bounds on these geometric invariants using type one invariants for knots in the solid torus which are well understood and easy to calculate.
