Abstract
The notion of a virtual link is a generalization of a classical link. Alexander numbering is a numbering of [Formula: see text] to arcs of a classical link diagram which is due to a numbering to disks of a complement of a link diagram in [Formula: see text]. Every classical link diagram admits Alexander numbering. A virtual link diagram corresponds to a link diagram in a closed oriented surface. Some virtual link diagrams do not admit any Alexander numbering. If a virtual link diagram admits Alexander numbering, we call it an almost classical virtual link diagram. In this paper, we construct a map from the set of virtual link diagrams to that of almost classical virtual link diagrams. It induces a map from the set of virtual links to that of almost classical virtual links. Using this map, we define a kind of Goeritz matrix of virtual link diagrams and introduce invariants of virtual links.
期刊介绍:
This Journal is intended as a forum for new developments in knot theory, particularly developments that create connections between knot theory and other aspects of mathematics and natural science. Our stance is interdisciplinary due to the nature of the subject. Knot theory as a core mathematical discipline is subject to many forms of generalization (virtual knots and links, higher-dimensional knots, knots and links in other manifolds, non-spherical knots, recursive systems analogous to knotting). Knots live in a wider mathematical framework (classification of three and higher dimensional manifolds, statistical mechanics and quantum theory, quantum groups, combinatorics of Gauss codes, combinatorics, algorithms and computational complexity, category theory and categorification of topological and algebraic structures, algebraic topology, topological quantum field theories).
Papers that will be published include:
-new research in the theory of knots and links, and their applications;
-new research in related fields;
-tutorial and review papers.
With this Journal, we hope to serve well researchers in knot theory and related areas of topology, researchers using knot theory in their work, and scientists interested in becoming informed about current work in the theory of knots and its ramifications.
