Knitted surfaces in the 4-ball and their chart description (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Knits (or BMW tangles) are tangles in a cylinder generated by generators of the BMW (Birman-Murakami-Wenzl) algebras, consisting of standard generators of the braid group and their inverses, and splices of crossings called pairs of hooks. We give a new construction of surfaces in $D^2 \times B^2$, called knitted surfaces (or BMW surfaces), that are described as the trace of deformations of knits, and we give the notion of charts for knitted surfaces, that are finite graphs in $B^2$. We show that a knitted surface has a chart description. Knitted surfaces and their chart description include 2-dimensional braids and their chart description. This is joint work with Jumpei Yasuda (Osaka University).
