Biquasile Colorings of Oriented Surface-Links
Jieon Kim, Sam Nelson
We introduce colorings of oriented surface-links by biquasiles using marked graph diagrams. We use these colorings to define counting invariants and Boltzmann enhancements of the b…
Trace Diagrams and Biquandle Brackets
Sam Nelson, Natsumi Oyamaguchi
We introduce a method of computing biquandle brackets of oriented knots and links using a type of decorated trivalent spatial graphs we call trace diagrams. We identify algebraic c…
Virtual Links with Finite Medial Bikei
Julien Chien, Sam Nelson
We consider the question of which virtual knots have finite fundamental medial bikei. We describe and implement an algorithm for completing a presentation matrix of a medial bikei…
Boltzmann Enhancements of Biquasile Counting Invariants
WonHyuk Choi, Deanna Needell, Sam Nelson
In this paper, we build on the biquasiles and dual graph diagrams introduced in arXiv:1610.06969. We introduce \textit{biquasile Boltzmann weights} that enhance the previous knot c…
Quasi-trivial Quandles and Biquandles, Cocycle Enhancements and Link-Homotopy of Pretzel links
Mohamed Elhamdadi, Minghui Liu, Sam Nelson
We investigate some algebraic structures called quasi-trivial quandles and we use them to study link-homotopy of pretzel links. Precisely, a necessary and sufficient condition for…
Biquandle Virtual Brackets
Sam Nelson, Kanako Oshiro, Ayaka Shimizu +1
We introduce an infinite family of quantum enhancements of the biquandle counting invariant we call biquandle virtual brackets. Defined in terms of skein invariants of biquandle co…
