Cubulated moves for 2-knots

Geometric Topology 2017-08-28 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that given two cubical links of dimension two in R4{\mathbb R}^4, they are isotopic if and only if one can pass from one to the other by a finite sequence of cubulated moves. These moves are analogous to the Reidemeister and Roseman moves for classical tame knots of dimension one and two, respectively.
