Self-dual Maps III: projective links

Geometric Topology 2024-01-01 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

In this paper, we present necessary and sufficient combinatorial conditions for a link to be projective, that is, a link in RP3RP^3. This characterization is closely related to the notions of antipodally self-dual and antipodally symmetric maps. We also discuss the notion of symmetric cycle, an interesting issue arising in projective links leading us to an easy condition to prevent a projective link to be alternating.
