Invariants of multi-linkoids

Geometric Topology 2022-05-27 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we extend the definition of a knotoid that was introduced by Turaev, to multi-linkoids that consist of a number of knot and knotoid components. We study invariants of multi-linkoids that lie in a closed orientable surface, namely the Kauffman bracket polynomial, ordered bracket polynomial, the Kauffman skein module, and the TT-invariant in relation with generalized Θ\Theta-graphs.
