On surface-knots with triple point number at most three

Algebraic Topology 2018-02-20 v3

Abstract

In this paper, we show that if a diagram of a surface-knot FF has at most three triple points, then the cocyle invariant of FF is an integer. In particular, for a surface-knot of genus one, the triple point number invariant is at least four.
