Session 20. Knot Theory

Links with binary relations

Maciej Niebrzydowski, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, USA, University of GdaƄsk, Poland
We define homology of binary relations, and we merge it with quandle homology, to obtain homology for partial quandles with binary relations. It can be used for analyzing link diagrams with binary relations on the set of components with the condition that a component \(C_2\) can move over a component \(C_1\) if \(C_1\ R\ C_2\), where \(R\) is a relation. We also discuss some other conditional theories.
