Transposition on grid links #
Diagonal reflection exchanges row and column moves and preserves stabilizations. It therefore descends to an involution on grid links, not merely on their presenting diagrams. No identification of a link with its transpose is imposed.
The grid move conventions follow Ozsváth--Stipsicz--Szabó, Grid Homology for Knots and Links, Chapter 3.
Diagonal reflection transports a sequence of grid moves.
Two transposed diagrams are move-equivalent exactly when the original diagrams are.
Diagonal reflection of a grid link, defined independently of a presenting diagram.
Instances For
Transposition of a link presented by a diagram is presented by the transposed diagram.
Diagonal reflection preserves the number of link components.
Transposition as an equivalence of grid links.
Instances For
The transposition equivalence acts by diagonal reflection.
The inverse transposition equivalence also acts by diagonal reflection.
