Linking in 3-colored knot covers
by

Uninstitutionalized (Ken of Perko)

This is an extension of our talks at KIW XL and XLII, all in the spirit of Reidemeister's "Anschaung als Erkenntnisquelle" [JFM 61.0969.01 (1935)]. It adds some belated frosting to the cake of our 1964 Princeton undergraduate thesis by showing how a certain type of 3-colored knot diagram may be manipulated to produce different knots with the same linking number between branch curves. Cf. JKTR 25 (2016) 1640010 (8 pages). We like to think of it as topology for fifth graders.
