Extensions of Some Classical Local Moves on Knot Diagrams
Extensions of Some Classical Local Moves on Knot Diagrams
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. Interrelationships between these moves are discussed, and, for each of these moves, we provide an algebraic classification. We address the question of relevant welded extensions for classical moves in …
