The interlace polynomial of binary delta-matroids and link invariants

Combinatorics 2020-03-02 v1

Abstract

In this work, we study the interlace polynomial as a generalization of a graph invariant to delta-matroids. We prove that the interlace polynomial satisfies the four-term relation for delta-matroids and determines thus a finite type invariant of links in the 3-sphere.
