Arrow diagrams on spherical curves and computations
Abstract
We give a definition of an integer-valued function derived from arrow diagrams for the ambient isotopy classes of oriented spherical curves. Then, we introduce certain elements of the free -module generated by the arrow diagrams with at most arrows, called relators of Type~() ((), (), (), or (), resp.), and introduce another function to obtain . One of the main results shows that if vanishes on finitely many relators of Type~() (() , (), (), or (), resp.), then is invariant under the deformation of type (strong, weak, strong, or weak, resp.). The other main result is that we obtain functions of arrow diagrams with up to six arrows. This computation is done with the aid of computers.
