The length of a $3$–cocycle of the $5$–dihedral quandle

Shin Satoh

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 16 (2016) 3325–3359
Abstract

We determine the length of the Mochizuki 3–cocycle of the 5–dihedral quandle. This induces that the 2–twist-spun figure-eight knot and the 2–twist-spun (2,5)–torus knot have the triple point number eight.

Dedicated to Professor Taizo Kanenobu on the occasion of his 60th birthday
