Local permutation calculus for the third Reidemeister move #
The Kauffman bracket and planarity proofs use the same twelve-slot inclusion and the same remainder after removing the three internal triangle arcs. This module supplies their common permutation calculus, exterior crossing-slot permutations, and lifted swap-forest orbit counts; smoothing and face traversal specialize these constructions in the two consumers.
The three internal arcs of the original Reidemeister triangle, extended by identity.
Equations
Instances For
Traversing an internal arc twice returns to the original slot.
The internal matching is an involutive permutation.
The six slots incident to the internal arcs of the original triangle.
Equations
Instances For
Membership in the six internal slots is decidable.
Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Lifting a transposition gives the transposition of its two ambient half-edges.
Act by the specified slot permutation at each unselected crossing and fix all twelve slots of the selected triangle.
Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For
Exterior slot permutations transport the crossingwise action through the diagram's half-edge labeling.
Permutations supported on the selected triangle commute with exterior slot permutations.
Lift a swap-forest factorization into the diagram. If the remaining traversal fixes all second endpoints, inserting the forest removes one orbit per factor.
The prescribed triangle arcs agree with the local internal matching.
Remove the three internal arcs, leaving their six slots fixed by the remainder.
Equations
Instances For
Cancel the internal matching against the removed triangle arcs when the intervening outside permutation commutes with that matching.
Removing the triangle arcs fixes each of their six incident slots.
