Knotted handle decomposing spheres for handlebody-knots
Atsushi Ishii, Kengo Kishimoto, Makoto Ozawa
We show that a handlebody-knot whose exterior is boundary-irreducible has a unique maximal unnested set of knotted handle decomposing spheres up to isotopies and annulus-moves. As…

A knotted 2-dimensional foam with non-trivial cocycle invariant
J. Scott Carter, Atsushi Ishii
By 2-twist-spinning the knotted graph that represents the knotted handlebody , we obtain a knotted foam in 4-dimensional space with a non-trivial quandle cocycle invariant.

A -family of quandles and handlebody-knots
Atsushi Ishii, Masahide Iwakiri, Yeonhee Jang +1
We introduce the notion of a -family of quandles which is an algebraic system whose axioms are motivated by handlebody-knot theory, and use it to construct invariants for handle…
