Singular twisted links and singular twisted virtual braids

Komal Negi, Madeti Prabhakar

Abstract

The concepts of twisted knot theory and singular knot theory inspire the introduction of singular twisted knot theory. This study showcases similar findings for singular twisted links, including the Alexander theorem and the Markov theorem derived from knot theory. Moreover, in this paper we define singular twisted virtual braids and their monoid structure. Additionally, we provide both a monoid and a reduced monoid presentation for singular twisted virtual braids.

Key Result

Theorem 2.9

The monoid $STVB_n$ is generated by standard generators, $\sigma_i^{\pm 1}$, $v_i$$(i=1, \dots, n-1)$, $\gamma_i$$(i=1, \dots, n)$, and $\tau_i$$(i=1, \dots, n-1)$ satisfy the following relations, where $e$ denotes the identity element:
