Flexible isotopy classification of flexible links

Geometric Topology 2016-05-16 v2

Abstract

In this paper we define and study flexible links and flexible isotopy in projective space. Flexible links are meant to capture the topological properties of real algebraic links. We classify all flexible links up to flexible isotopy using Ekholms interpretation of Viros encomplexed writhe.
