| [[Image:3D-Link.PNG|thumb|right|The two curves of this (2,8)-[[torus knot|torus link]] have linking number four.]]
| |
| In [[mathematics]], the '''linking number''' is a numerical [[invariant (mathematics)|invariant]] that describes the linking of two [[closed curve]]s in [[three-dimensional space]]. Intuitively, the linking number represents the number of times that each curve winds around the other. The linking number is always an [[integer]], but may be positive or negative depending on the [[curve orientation|orientation]] of the two curves.
| |
|
| |
|
| The linking number was introduced by [[Carl Friedrich Gauss|Gauss]] in the form of the '''linking integral'''. It is an important object of study in [[knot theory]], [[algebraic topology]], and [[differential geometry]], and has numerous applications in [[mathematics]] and [[science]], including [[quantum mechanics]], [[electromagnetism]], and the study of [[DNA supercoil]]ing.

| ==Definition==
| |
| Any two closed curves in space, if allowed to pass through themselves but not each other, can be [[homotopy|moved]] into exactly one of the following standard positions. This determines the linking number:

| |
| Each curve may pass through itself during this motion, but the two curves must remain separated throughout. This is formalized as [[regular homotopy]], which further requires that each curve be an ''immersion'', not just any map. However, this added condition does not change the definition of linking number (it does not matter if the curves are required to always be immersions or not), which is an example of an [[h-principle|''h''-principle]] (homotopy-principle), meaning that geometry reduces to topology.
| |
| | |
| === Proof ===
| |
| This fact (that the linking number is the only invariant) is most easily proven by placing one circle in standard position, and then showing that linking number is the only invariant of the other circle. In detail:
| |
| * A single curve is regular homotopic to a standard circle (any knot can be unknotted if the curve is allowed to pass through itself). The fact that it is ''homotopic'' is clear, since 3-space is contractible and thus all maps into it are homotopic, though the fact that this can be done through immersions requires some geometric argument.
| |
| * The complement of a standard circle is homeomorphic to a solid torus with a point removed (this can be seen by interpreting 3-space as the 3-sphere with the point at infinity removed, and the 3-sphere as two solid tori glued along the boundary), or the complement can be analyzed directly.
| |
| * The [[fundamental group]] of 3-space minus a circle is the integers, corresponding to linking number. This can be seen via the [[Seifert–Van Kampen theorem]] (either adding the point at infinity to get a solid torus, or adding the circle to get 3-space, allows one to compute the fundamental group of the desired space).
| |
| * Thus homotopy classes of a curve in 3-space minus a circle are determined by linking number.
| |
| * It is also true that regular homotopy classes are determined by linking number, which requires additional geometric argument.
| |
| | |
| ==Computing the linking number==
| |
| [[Image:Linking Number Example.svg|thumb|With six positive crossings and two negative crossings, these curves have linking number two.]]
| |
| There is an [[algorithm]] to compute the linking number of two curves from a link [[knot theory#Knot diagrams|diagram]]. Label each crossing as ''positive'' or ''negative'', according to the following rule:<ref>This is the same labeling used to compute the [[writhe]] of a [[knot (mathematics)|knot]], though in this case we only label crossings that involve both curves of the link.</ref>
| |
| <center>[[Image:Link Crossings.svg|350px]]</center>
| |
| The total number of positive crossings minus the total number of negative crossings is equal to ''twice'' the linking number. That is:
| |
| :<math>\mbox{linking number}=\frac{n_1 + n_2 - n_3 - n_4}{2}</math>
| |
| where ''n''<sub>1</sub>, ''n''<sub>2</sub>, ''n''<sub>3</sub>, ''n''<sub>4</sub> represent the number of crossings of each of the four types. The two sums <math>n_1 + n_3\,\!</math> and <math>n_2 + n_4\,\!</math> are always equal,<ref>This follows from the [[Jordan curve theorem]] if either curve is simple. For example, if the blue curve is simple, then ''n''<sub>1</sub> + ''n''<sub>3</sub> and ''n''<sub>2</sub> + ''n''<sub>4</sub> represent the number of times that the red curve crosses in and out of the region bounded by the blue curve.</ref> which leads to the following alternative formula
| |
| :<math>\mbox{linking number}\,=\,n_1-n_4\,=\,n_2-n_3.</math>
| |
| Note that <math>n_1-n_4</math> involves only the undercrossings of the blue curve by the red, while <math>n_2-n_3</math> involves only the overcrossings.
| |
| | |
| ==Properties and examples== | |
| [[Image:Labeled Whitehead Link.svg|thumb|The two curves of the [[Whitehead link]] have linking number zero.]]
| |
| * Any two unlinked curves have linking number zero. However, two curves with linking number zero may still be linked (e.g. the [[Whitehead link]]).
| |
| * Reversing the orientation of either of the curves negates the linking number, while reversing the orientation of both curves leaves it unchanged.
| |
| * The linking number is [[chirality (mathematics)|chiral]]: taking the [[mirror image]] of link negates the linking number. The convention for positive linking number is based on a [[right-hand rule]].
| |
| * The [[winding number]] of an oriented curve in the ''x''-''y'' plane is equal to its linking number with the ''z''-axis (thinking of the ''z''-axis as a closed curve in the [[3-sphere]]).
| |
| * More generally, if either of the curves is [[Curve#Topology|simple]], then the first [[homology (mathematics)|homology group]] of its complement is [[group isomorphism|isomorphic]] to '''[[integer|Z]]'''. In this case, the linking number is determined by the homology class of the other curve.
| |
| * In [[physics]], the linking number is an example of a [[topological quantum number]]. It is related to [[quantum entanglement]].
| |
| | |
| ==Gauss's integral definition==
| |
| Given two non-intersecting differentiable curves <math>\gamma_1, \gamma_2 \colon S^1 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3</math>, define the '''[[Carl Friedrich Gauss|Gauss]] map''' <math>\Gamma</math> from the [[torus]] to the [[unit sphere|sphere]] by
| |
| :<math>\Gamma(s,t) = \frac{\gamma_1(s) - \gamma_2(t)}{|\gamma_1(s) - \gamma_2(t)|}.</math>
| |
| | |
| Pick a point in the unit sphere, ''v'', so that orthogonal projection of the link to the plane perpendicular to ''v'' gives a link diagram. Observe that a point ''(s,t)'' that goes to ''v'' under the Gauss map corresponds to a crossing in the link diagram where <math>\gamma_1</math> is over <math>\gamma_2</math>. Also, a neighborhood of ''(s,t)'' is mapped under the Gauss map to a neighborhood of ''v'' preserving or reversing orientation depending on the sign of the crossing. Thus in order to compute the linking number of the diagram corresponding to ''v'' it suffices to count the ''signed'' number of times the Gauss map covers ''v''. Since ''v'' is a [[regular value]], this is precisely the [[degree of a continuous mapping|degree]] of the Gauss map (i.e. the signed number of times that the [[image (mathematics)|image]] of Γ covers the sphere). Isotopy invariance of the linking number is automatically obtained as the degree is invariant under homotopic maps. Any other regular value would give the same number, so the linking number doesn't depend on any particular link diagram.
| |
| | |
| This formulation of the linking number of ''γ''<sub>1</sub> and ''γ''<sub>2</sub> enables an explicit formula as a double [[line integral]], the '''Gauss linking integral''':
| |
| | |
| :<math>\mbox{linking number}\,=\,\frac{1}{4\pi}
| |
| \oint_{\gamma_1}\oint_{\gamma_2}
| |
| \frac{\mathbf{r}_1 - \mathbf{r}_2}{|\mathbf{r}_1 - \mathbf{r}_2|^3}
| |
| \cdot (d\mathbf{r}_1 \times d\mathbf{r}_2).</math>
| |
| | |
| This integral computes the total signed area of the image of the Gauss map (the integrand being the [[Jacobian]] of Γ) and then divides by the area of the sphere (which is 4''π''). | |
| | |
| ==Generalizations==
| |
| [[File:BorromeanRings.svg|thumb|The [[Milnor invariants]] generalize linking number to links with three or more components, allowing one prove that the [[Borromean rings]] are linked, though any two components have linking number 0.]]
| |
| * Just as closed curves can be [[link (knot theory)|linked]] in three dimensions, any two [[closed manifold]]s of dimensions ''m'' and ''n'' may be linked in a [[Euclidean space]] of dimension <math>m + n + 1</math>. Any such link has an associated Gauss map, whose [[degree of a continuous mapping|degree]] is a generalization of the linking number.
| |
| * Any [[framed knot]] has a [[self-linking number]] obtained by computing the linking number of the knot ''C'' with a new curve obtained by slightly moving the points of ''C'' along the framing vectors. The self-linking number obtained by moving vertically (along the blackboard framing) is known as '''Kauffman's self-linking number'''.
| |
| * The linking number is defined for two linked circles; given three or more circles, one can define the [[Milnor invariants]], which are a numerical invariant generalizing linking number.
| |
| * In [[algebraic topology]], the [[cup product]] is a far-reaching algebraic generalization of the linking number, with the [[Massey product]]s being the algebraic analogs for the [[Milnor invariants]].
| |
| * A [[linkless embedding]] of an [[undirected graph]] is an embedding into three-dimensional space such that every two cycles have zero linking number. The graphs that have a linkless embedding have a [[forbidden graph characterization|forbidden minor characterization]] as the graphs with no [[Petersen family]] [[minor (graph theory)|minor]].
