Abstract

Given a shadow biquandle (B,X)(B,X) composed of a biquandle BB and a strongly connected BB-set XX, we have a local biquandle structure on XX. The (co)homology groups of such shadow biquandles are isomorphic to those of the corresponding local biquandles. Moreover, cocycle invariants, of oriented links and oriented surface-links, using such shadow biquandles coincide with those using the corresponding local biquandles. These results imply that for some cases, the Niebrzydowski's theory in [14, 15, 16] for knot-theoretic ternary quasigroups is the same as shadow biquandle theory. We also show that some local biquandle 22- or 33-cocycles and some 11- or 22-cocycles of the Niebrzydowski's (co)homology theory can be induced from Mochizuki's cocycles.
