Regular-equivalence of $2$-knot diagrams and sphere eversions

Geometric Topology 2018-04-11 v1

Abstract

For each diagram DD of a 22-knot, we provide a way to construct a new diagram DD' of the same knot such that any sequence of Roseman moves between DD and DD' necessarily involves branch points. The proof is done by developing the observation that no sphere eversion can be lifted to an isotopy in 44-space.
