Download

foamho-1.1.tar.gz containing the source code and installation instructions in the README file. To compile, you will need at least the MPIR-library, which is used for rational and integral arbitrary precision arithmetic. Optionally, the PARI-library is used to obtain smith normal forms (not necessary if you only want to compute rational homology), and the PROCPS-library to display memory consumption (on Linux only).

foamho.exe, a windows executable compiled using minGW running on Windows XP. No additional libraries necessary, but it is not guaranteed to work on your system.

Some results

Let us list all knots of twelve or less crossings for which the sl3- and sl3-concordance invariants differ (click on the knot to see his diagram on the Knot Atlas or on KnotInfo). In our normalisation, both invariants have a value of 2 for the right-handed trefoil knot.
