Twist polynomial as a weight system for set systems

Combinatorics 2024-04-17 v1

Abstract

Recently, Chmutov proved that the partial-dual polynomial considered as a function on chord diagrams satisfies the four-term relation. Deng et al. then proved that this function on framed chord diagrams also satisfies the four-term relation, i.e., is a framed weight system. In this paper, we extend their results to the twist polynomial of a set system by proving that the twist polynomial on set systems satisfies the four-term relation.
