The virtual flyping theorem

Thomas Kindred

We extend the flyping theorem to alternating links in thickened surfaces and alternating virtual links. The proof of the former result uses work of Boden--Karimi to adapt the autho…

Primeness of alternating virtual links

Thomas Kindred

Using a new tool called lassos, we establish a new correspondence between cellular link {diagrams} on closed surfaces and equivalence classes of virtual link {diagrams}. This is an…

End-essential spanning surfaces for links in thickened surfaces

Thomas Kindred

Let be a cellular alternating link diagram on a closed orientable surface . We prove that if has no removable nugatory crossings then each checkerboard surface from …

Efficient multisections of odd-dimensional tori

Thomas Kindred

Rubinstein--Tillmann generalized the notions of Heegaard splittings of 3-manifolds and trisections of 4-manifolds by defining {\it multisections} of PL -manifolds, which are dec…

A geometric proof of the flyping theorem

Thomas Kindred

In 1898, Tait asserted several properties of alternating knot diagrams. These assertions became known as Tait's conjectures and remained open until the discovery of the Jones polyn…

Crosscap numbers of alternating knots via unknotting splices

Thomas Kindred

Ito-Takimura recently defined a splice-unknotting number for knot diagrams. They proved that this number provides an upper bound for the crosscap number of any prime knot,…
