Three geometric applications of quandle homology

Geometric Topology 2019-10-29 v1

Abstract

In this paper we describe three geometric applications of quandle homology. We show that it gives obstructions to tangle embeddings, provides the lower bound for the 4-move distance between links, and can be used in determining periodicity of links.
