Title of Talk | Reidemeister Moves and Equivalence of Butterfly Diagrams for Links |
Abstract | By a theorem of Reidemeister, two links are equivalent if and only if they have regular projections which can be related by a finite sequence of special changes called Reidemeister moves. It is an open problem to find a complete set of "butterfly moves" to turn a butterfly diagram for a given link into a butterfly diagram for an equivalent link. In this talk, we will translate the Reidemeister moves into butterfly moves and present some examples. |
