Markov theorem for doodles on two-sphere

Algebraic Topology 2018-07-18 v1 Geometric Topology

Abstract

In 1997 M.~Khovanov proved that any doodle can be presented as closure of twin, this result is analogue of classical Alexander's theorem for braids and links. We give a description of twins that have equivalent closures, this theorem is analogue of classical Markov theorem.
