Abstract

For a given (X,S,β)(X,S,\beta), where S,β ⁣:X×XX×XS,\beta\colon X\times X\to X\times X are set theoretical solutions of Yang-Baxter equation with a compatibility condition, we define an invariant for virtual (or classical) knots/links using non commutative 2-cocycles pairs (f,g)(f,g) that generalizes the one defined in [FG2]. We also define, a group Uncfg=Uncfg(X,S,β)U_{nc}^{fg}=U_{nc}^{fg}(X,S,\beta) and functions πf,πg ⁣:X×XUncfg(X)\pi_f, \pi_g\colon X\times X\to U_{nc}^{fg}(X) governing all 2-cocycles in XX. We exhibit examples of computations achieved using GAP.
