Abstract
- Charts are oriented labeled graphs in a disk. Any simple surface braid (2-dimensional braid) can be described by using a chart. Also, a chart represents an oriented closed surface (called a surface-link) embedded in 4-space. In this paper, we investigate surface-links by using charts. In [T. Nagase and A. Shima, The structure of a minimal n -chart with two crossings I: Complementary domains of Γ 1 ∪ Γ n − 1 , J. Knot Theory Ramifactions27(14) (2018) 1850078; T. Nagase and A. Shima, The structure of a minimal n -chart with two crossings II: Neighbourhoods of Γ 1 ∪ Γ n − 1 , Revista de la Real Academia de Ciencias Exactas, Fiskcas y Natrales. Serie A. Math.113 (2019) 1693–1738, arXiv:1709.08827v2 ] we gave an enumeration of the charts with two crossings. In particular, there are two classes for 4-charts with two crossings and eight black vertices. The first class represents surface-links each of which is connected. The second class represents surface-links each of which is exactly two connected components. In this paper, by using quandle colorings, we shall show that the charts in the second class represent different surface-links. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
