Abstract
We introduce multi-tribrackets, algebraic structures for region coloring of diagrams of knots and links with different operations at different kinds of crossings. In particular we consider the case of component multi-tribrackets which have different tribracket operations at single-component crossings and multi-component crossings. We provide examples to show that the resulting counting invariants can distinguish links which are not distinguished by the counting invariants associated to the standard tribracket coloring. We reinterpret the results of [11] in terms of multi-tribrackets and consider futuredirections for multi-tribracket theory.
