    • The Jones polynomial and boundary slopes of alternating knots 

      Curtis, Cynthia; Taylor, Samuel J. (2011-04)
      We show for an alternating knot the minimal integral boundary slope is given by the signature plus twice the minimum degree of the Jones polynomial and the maximal integral boundary slope is given by the signature plus ...

    • The Jones polynomial and boundary slopes of alternating Montesinos knots 

      Curtis, Cynthia; Taylor, Samuel J. (World Scientific Publishing, 2011)
      We show for an alternating knot the minimal boundary slope of an essential spanning surface is given by the signature plus twice the minimum degree of the Jones polynomial and the maximal boundary slope of an essential ...
