Bottom tangles and universal invariants

Abstract: A bottom tangle is a tangle in a cube consisting only of arc components, each of which has the two endpoints on the bottom line of the cube, placed next to each other. We introduce a subcategory B of the category of framed, oriented tangles, which acts on the set of bottom tangles. We give a finite set of generators of B, which provides an especially convenient way to generate all the bottom tangles, and hence all the framed, oriented links, via closure. We also define a kind of "braided Hopf algebra action" o… Show more

“…In Section 4, we first recall from [20] the notion of bottom tangles. An ncomponent bottom tangle T is a tangle in a cube consisting of n arc components whose endpoints lie in a line in the bottom square of the cube in such a way that between the two endpoints of each arc there are no endpoints of other arcs.…”
