Invariants of knots in geodesic flows

P. M. Akhmet'ev

Abstract: The invariant $M_3$ of 3-component links is introduced in [2]. A new invariant $M_5$ of oriented 5-component links with cyclic order of components is introduced. Invariants have asymptotic and ergodic properties. An expression of the invariant $M_3$ by means of coefficients of the Conway polynomial is in [3].
The invariant $M_3$ is calculated for knotted trajectories of ergodic flows on the lens space $\mathbb S^3/\mathbb Z_3$. The flows are defined using the geodesic flow on the Lobachevskii plane with the modular group symmetry. The spaces of the flows have a common volume, metrics depend on a curvature. Analogical calculation for Arnold’s asymptotic ergodic linking numbers [1] is in [4].
