Invariants for singular links via the two parameter bt-algebra

Abstract

We construct a new invariant of singular links through representations of the singular braid monoid into the two parameters bt-algebra. Additionally, we recover this invariant by using the approach of Paris and Rabenda. Hence, we introduce the so called two parameter Singular bt-algebra. Finally, we provide the skein relations that define our invariant, and we prove that this invariant is more powerful than previous invariants of singular links in literature.
