Cn-moves and periodic knots
by
Takuji Nakamura
Osaka Electro-Communication university

For each local move T, we can define the T-gordian distance for two knots. Our motivation is to research a relationship between the periodicity of knots and T-gordian distance. In this talk, we pay attention to Cn-move. In fact we show that for any p and any n( > 2) there exists a periodic knot of period p whose Cn-gordian distance to the trivial knot is one. We will mention this result about other local moves.
