Three-Page Approach to Knot Theory. Encoding and Local Moves
I. A. Dynnikov M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics
Abstract:
In the present paper, we suggest a new combinatorial approach to knot theory based on embeddings of knots
and links into a union of three half-planes with the same boundary. The restriction of the number of pages to three (or any other number $\ge3$) provides a convenient way to encode links by words in a finite alphabet. For those words, we give a finite set of local changes that realizes the equivalence of links by analogy with the Reidemeister moves for planar link diagrams.
