The Way

We introduce dual graph diagrams representing oriented knots and links. We use these combinatorial structures to define corresponding algebraic structures which we call biquasiles whose axioms are motivated by dual graph Reidemeister moves, generalizing the Dehn presentation of the knot group analogously to the way quandles and biquandles generalize the Wirtinger presentation. We use these structures to define invariants of oriented knots and links and provide examples.

Hopf Link

Every link in the 3-sphere has a projection to the plane where the only singularities are pairwise transverse triple points. The associated diagram, with height information at each triple point, is a triple-crossing diagram of the link. We give a set of diagrammatic moves on triple-crossing diagrams analogous to the Reidemeister moves on ordinary diagrams. The existence of [Formula: see text]-crossing diagrams for every [Formula: see text] greater than one allows the definition of the [Formula: see text]-crossing number. We prove that for any nontrivial, nonsplit link, other than the Hopf link, its triple-crossing number is strictly greater than its quintuple-crossing number.

Reidemeister Moves

We consider a quiver structure on the set of quandle colorings of an oriented knot or link diagram. This structure contains a wealth of knot and link invariants and provides a categorification of the quandle counting invariant in the most literal sense, i.e. giving the set of quandle colorings the structure of a small category which is unchanged by Reidemeister moves. We derive some new enhancements of the counting invariant from this quiver structure and show that the enhancements are proper with explicit examples.

In this paper we aim to set forth a notion of equivalence for 1-manifolds that are properly embedded in the space R×D2 and prove that this is the same as ambient isotopy.

Reidemeister Moves

An unknotting operation is a local move on a knot diagram such that any knot diagram can be transformed into a diagram of the unknot by a finite sequence of the operations and Reidemeister moves. In this paper, we introduce a new local move H(T) on a knot diagram which is obtained by the rotation of a tangle diagram T and study their properties. As an application, we prove that the H(T)-move is an unknotting operation for any descending tangle diagram T.

The Reidemeister torsion construction can be applied to the chain complex used to compute the Khovanov homology of a knot or a link. This defines a volume form on Khovanov homology. The volume form transforms correctly under Reidemeister moves to give an invariant volume on the Khovanov homology. In this paper, its construction and invariance under these moves is demonstrated. Also, some examples of the invariant are presented for particular choices for the bases of homology groups to obtain a numerical invariant of knots and links. In these examples, the algebraic torsion seen in the Khovanov chain complex when homology is computed over ℤ is recovered.

Knot Diagrams

A movie description of a surface embedded in 4-space is a sequence of knot and link diagrams obtained from a projection of the surface to 3-space by taking 2-dimensional cross sections perpendicular to a fixed direction. In the cross sections, an immersed collection of curves appears, and these are lifted to knot diagrams by using the projection direction from 4-space. We give a set of 15 moves to movies (called movie moves) such that two movies represent isotopic surfaces if and only if there is a sequence of moves from this set that takes one to the other. This result generalizes the Roseman moves which are moves on projections where a height function has not been specified. The first 7 of the movie moves are height function parametrized versions of those given by Roseman. The remaining 8 are moves in which the topology of the projection remains unchanged.
