Lower bounds for ropelength of links via higher linking numbers and other finite type invariants.
by

Coauthors: Rafal Komendarczyk

Based on the arrow diagram formulas for finite type invariants due to Goussarov, Polyak and Viro, we obtain lower bounds for the ropelength of links and knots. In this talk, I will specifically present ropelength and crossing number bounds for Brunnian links, in terms of Milnor triple linking number. Further, I will sketch how to obtain generalizations to the n-component case
