Abstract:We study a certain class of embedded two-foams that arise from gluing discs
into ribbon torus knots along nonintersecting torus meridians. We exhibit
several equivalent diagrammatic formalisms for these objects and identify
several of their invariants, including a unique prime decomposition.Comment: This expands, revises, and replaces a part of arXiv:1404.286
