Secant-quandle: an invariant of braids and knots
Seongjeong Kim, Yangzhou Liu, Vassily Olegovich Manturov
We construct a novel invariant of braids and knots, secant-quandle (SQ),with generic secants serving as generators and generic horizontal trisecants serving as relations, i.e., $SQ…

3-braids with 4-valent vertices and knot invariant
Seongjeong Kim, Vassily O. Manturov
We construct a picture-valued invariant of classical knots by using the group and the plat closure of braids. We introduce a modification of the group and define a…

The groups and -gon tilings
Vassily Olegovich Manturov, Seongjeong Kim
In the present paper we discuss four ways of looking at rhombile tilings: stacking 3-dimensional cubes, elements of groups, and configurations of lines and points.
