The intersection polynomials of a virtual knot (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We define two kinds of invariants of a virtual knot called the first and second intersection polynomials. The definition is based on the intersection number of a pair of curves on a closed surface. We study several properties of the polynomials. By introducing invariants of long virtual knots, we give connected sum formulae of the intersection polynomials, and prove that there are infinitely many connected sums of any two virtual knots as an application. Furthermore, by studying the behavior under a crossing change, we show that the intersection polynomials are finite type invariants of order two, and find an invariant of a flat virtual knot derived from the the intersection polynomials. This is a joint work with R. Higa, T. Nakamura, and Y. Nakanishi.
