Topological Insights from the Chinese Rings
Jozef H. Przytycki, Adam S. Sikora
Abstract
L. Kauffman conjectured that a particular solution of the Chinese Rings puzzle is the simplest possible. We prove his conjecture by using low-dimensional topology and group theory. We notice also a surprising connection between the Chinese Rings and Habiro moves (related to Vassiliev invariants).
