Abstract

We introduce the notion of mc-biquandles, algebraic structures which have possibly distinct biquandle operations at single-component and multi-component crossings. These structures provide computable homset invariants for classical and virtual links. We categorify these homsets to obtain mc-biquandle coloring quivers and define several new link invariants via decategorification from these invariant quivers.
