We construct a new order 1 invariant for knot diagrams. We use it to determine the minimal number of Reidemeister moves needed to pass between certain pairs of knot diagrams.

Marked vertex diagrams provide a combinatorial way to represent knotted surfaces in R4\mathbb{R}^4; including virtual crossings allows for a theory of virtual knotted surfaces and virtual cobordisms. Biquandle counting invariants are defined only for marked vertex diagrams representing knotted orientable surfaces; we e…

Paper provides seven Gauss diagram formulas for degree three long virtual knots.

problem Tackles the complete list of seven distinct Gauss diagram formulas for degree three long virtual knots.
method Gives seven Gauss diagram formulas for degree three long virtual knots and 23 for classical knots.
result Each Gauss diagram formula for degree three long virtual knots is represented as classical knots formulas, supporting Goussarov-Polyak-Viro conjecture.

In this paper a classification of Reidemeister moves, which is the most refined, is introduced. In particular, this classification distinguishes some Ω3Ω_3-moves that only differ in how the three strands that are involved in the move are ordered on the knot. To transform knot diagrams of isotopic knots into each other …

In this paper we introduce a representation of knots and links called a cube diagram. We show that a property of a cube diagram is a link invariant if and only if the property is invariant under two types of cube diagram operations. A knot homology is constructed from cube diagrams and shown to be equivalent to knot Fl…

The state-sum invariants for knots and knotted surfaces defined from quandle cocycles are described using the Kronecker product between cycles represented by colored knot diagrams and a cocycle of a finite quandle used to color the diagram. Such an interpretation is applied to evaluating the invariants. Algebraic inter…

We observe that any knot invariant extends to virtual knots. The isotopy classification problem for virtual knots is reduced to an algebraic problem formulated in terms of an algebra of arrow diagrams. We introduce a new notion of finite type invariant and show that the restriction of any such invariant of degree n to …

The paper calculates a specific weight system for chord diagrams with a particular graph structure.

problem Calculating a specific weight system for chord diagrams with a complete bipartite graph structure.
method Using a Lie algebra sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3 and its weight system, the authors derive a function on chord diagrams.
result The authors compute the sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3 weight system for chord diagrams with a complete bipartite graph structure.

The Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant of classical link diagrams is generalized to virtual link diagrams. This invariant is unchanged by the framed Reidemeister moves and the Kirby calculus. As a result, it is also an invariant of the 3-manifolds represented by the classical link diagrams. This generalization is used…

Racks do not give us invariants of surface-knots in general. For example, if a surface-knot diagram has branch points (and a rack which we use satisfies some mild condition), then it admits no rack colorings. In this paper, we investigate rack colorings for surface-knot diagrams without branch points and prove that rac…

New approach to electric group for knots and links.

method Simple and general approach to electric group for oriented knots and links, using proper colouring of knot diagrams.
result Each homomorphism from the electric group to an arbitrary finite group can be described by a proper colouring of the diagram.

method Defined an invariant (annulus diagram) using characteristic submanifold theory and Koda-Ozawa classification for essential annuli.
result The annulus diagram can differentiate handlebody-knot families.

In this paper we introduce a representation of a embedded knotted (sometimes Lagrangian) tori in $\BR^4$ called a hypercube diagram, i.e., a 4-dimensional cube diagram. We prove the existence of hypercube homology that is invariant under 4-dimensional cube diagram moves, a homology that is based on knot Floer homology.…

This paper describes a polynomial invariant of virtual knots that is defined in terms of an integer labeling of the virtual knot diagram. This labeling is seen to derive from an essentially unique structure of affine flat biquandle for flat virtual diagrams. The invariant is discussed in detail with many examples,inclu…
