A refinement of the Q-Polynomial for twisted knots

This paper introduces a two-variable polynomial invariant for oriented twisted knots, denoted by $Q_{K}^{z}(s,t)$, refining the $Q$-polynomial of N. Kamada and S. Kamada \cite{NaoSei}. We exhibit an infinite family of twisted knots indistinguishable by the $Q$-polynomial but separated by the $Q^z$-polynomial. To prove invariance, we first determine a generating set of oriented Reidemeister moves for twisted knot diagrams, extending the result of Ali \cite{Dan} for oriented virtual knots; this result is new and of independent interest, as it provides the minimal framework needed to verify invariance of any oriented twisted knot invariant. As further applications, we derive an explicit crossing change formula, obtain lower bounds on the Gordian distance between homotopic twisted knots, examine the existence of cosmetic crossings in a twisted knot diagram, and finally prove that $Q^{z}_{K}(s,t)$ is a Vassiliev invariant of order one.

Arc shift move and region arc shift move for twisted knots

In this paper, we study the unknotting operation for twisted knots, called arc shift move. First, we find a family of twisted knots with arc shift number $n$ for any given $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Then we define a new unknotting operation, called the region arc shift move for twisted knots and find family of twisted knots whose region arc shift number is less than or equal to $n$ for any given $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Later, we explore bounds for region arc shift number and forbidden number.

The monoid structure of singular twisted virtual braids

In this paper, we examine specific submonoids within the singular twisted virtual braid monoid $STVB_n$. Notably, we establish that the singular twisted virtual pure braid monoid $STVP_n$ serves as the kernel of an epimorphism from $STVB_n$ onto the symmetric group $S_n$. We identify the generators and defining relations for $STVP_n$. Additionally, we construct other epimorphisms from $STVB_n$ onto $S_n$, whose kernels are analogous to $STVP_n$, and determine their respective generators and defining relations. Furthermore, we demonstrate the embedding of the monoid $STVB_n$ into a group. Also, we provide the extension of the representation of the twisted virtual braid group to the representation of the singular twisted virtual braid monoid.

Region unknotting number of $2$-bridge knots

In this paper, we discuss the region unknotting number of different classes of 2-bridge knots. In particular, we provide region unknotting number for the classes of $2$-bridge knots whose Conway notation is $C(m,\ n), C(m,\ 2,\ m),$ $ C(m,\ 2,\ m\pm1)$ and $C(2,\ m,\ 2,\ n)$. By generalizing, we also provide a sharp upper bound for all the remaining classes of $2$-bridge knots.
