Normal forms for rational 3-tangles
arXiv:2303.07482
Abstract
In this paper, we define the \textit{normal form} of collections of disjoint three \textit{bridge arcs} for a given rational -tangle. We show that there is a sequence of \textit{normal jump moves} which leads one to the other for two normal forms of the same rational 3-tangle.
