48 results for unstick move

It is well known that any two diagrams representing the same oriented link are related by a finite sequence of Reidemeister moves O1, O2 and O3. Depending on orientations of fragments involved in the moves, one may distinguish 4 different versions of each of the O1 and O2 moves, and 8 versions of the O3 move. We introd…

In this paper, we introduce an equivalence relation on the set of local moves and classify local moves, called the extended STST-moves, up to the equivalence. Moreover, by inducing a binary relation on the set of equivalence classes of local moves, we show that an extended STST-move realizes the crossing change or the …

The H(n)-move simplifies virtual and welded knots and links.

problem Tackling the unknotting of virtual and welded links.
method Extending the H(n)-move to virtual and welded links and showing their equivalence to Reidemeister moves.
result Virtualization and forbidden move can be realized by a finite sequence of generalized Reidemeister moves and H(n)-moves.

We prove that the classical set of moves for standard spines of 3-manifolds (i.e. the MP-move and the V-move) does not suffice to relate to each other any two standard skeleta of a 3-manifold with marked boundary. We also describe a condition on the 3-manifold with marked boundary that tells whether the generalised set…

New methods for delta-moves on algebraically split links identified.

problem Understanding delta-moves on algebraically split links.
method Introducing self and mixed delta-moves, proving equivalence, and calculating delta-splitting numbers.
result Two links are mixed delta-equivalent if they have the same pairwise linking number and components.

We start a systematic analysis of links up to 5-move equivalence. Our motivation is to develop tools which later can be used to study skein modules based on the skein relation being deformation of a 5-move (in an analogous way as the Kauffman skein module is a deformation of a 2-move, i.e. a crossing change). Our main …

The ΞΞ-move is a local move generated by forbidden moves in virtual knot theory. This move was introduced by Taniguchi and the second author, who showed that it characterizes the odd writhe of virtual knots, which is a fundamental invariant defined by Kauffman. In this paper, we extend this result by classifying 22-c…

We show Vector Autoregressive Moving Average models with scalar Moving Average components could be estimated by generalized least square (GLS) for each fixed moving average polynomial. The conditional variance of the GLS model is the concentrated covariant matrix of the moving average process. Under GLS the likelihood …

Roseman moves are seven types of local modification for surface-link diagrams in 33-space which generate ambient isotopies of surface-links in 44-space. In this paper, we focus on Roseman moves involving triple points, one of which is the famous tetrahedral move, and discuss their independence. For each diagram of an…

In this paper, we formulate a new local move on virtual knot diagram, called arc shift move. Further, we extend it to another local move called region arc shift defined on a region of a virtual knot diagram. We establish that these arc shift and region arc shift moves are unknotting operations by showing that any virtu…

We describe various handle moves in contact surgery diagrams, notably contact analogues of the Kirby moves. As an application of these handle moves, we discuss the respective classifications of long and loose Legendrian knots.

In the present paper, we consider local moves on classical and welded diagrams: (self-)crossing change, (self-)virtualization, virtual conjugation, Delta, fused, band-pass and welded band-pass moves. Interrelationship between these moves is discussed and, for each of these move, we provide an algebraic classification. …

A C_n-move is a local move on links defined by Habiro and Goussarov, which can be regarded as a `higher order crossing change'. We use Milnor invariants with repeating indices to provide several classification results for links up to C_n-moves, under certain restrictions. Namely, we give a classification up to C_4-move…

method Introducing lantern moves and chain moves to complete the set of contact Kirby moves.
result Two contact surgery diagrams represent contactomorphic contact manifolds if and only if they are related by a sequence of specific moves.

problem Proving some link diagrams can't be transformed by specific sequences of Reidemeister moves.
method Proved the existence of I-generalized ordered sequences to create simple transformations.
result Some link diagrams cannot be transformed by sequences of moves that increase, then decrease crossings.

result A four-element subset serves as a generating set for oriented virtual Reidemeister moves.

The L-move for classical braids extends naturally to trivalent braids. We follow the L-move approach to the Markov Theorem, to prove a one-move Markov-type theorem for trivalent braids. We also reformulate this L-Move Markov theorem and prove a more algebraic Markov-type theorem for trivalent braids. Along the way, we …
