Burnside groups and $n$-moves for links
Abstract
Let be a positive integer. M. K. Dabkowski and J. H. Przytycki introduced the th Burnside group of links which is preserved by -moves, and proved that for any odd prime there exist links which are not equivalent to trivial links up to -moves by using their th Burnside groups. This gives counterexamples for the Montesinos-Nakanishi -move conjecture. In general, it is hard to distinguish th Burnside groups of a given link and a trivial link. We give a necessary condition for which th Burnside groups are isomorphic to those of trivial links. The necessary condition gives us an efficient way to distinguish th Burnside groups of a given link and a trivial link. As an application, we show that there exist links, each of which is not equivalent to a trivial link up to -moves for any odd prime .
