Reidemeister-type moves for surfaces in four-dimensional space

Dennis Roseman (1998)

Banach Center Publications

We consider smooth knottings of compact (not necessarily orientable) n-dimensional manifolds in n + 2 (or S n + 2 ), for the cases n=2 or n=3. In a previous paper we have generalized the notion of the Reidemeister moves of classical knot theory. In this paper we examine in more detail the above mentioned dimensions. Examples are given; in particular we examine projections of twist-spun knots. Knot moves are given which demonstrate the triviality of the 1-twist spun trefoil. Another application is a smooth...
