• #### Braid equivalences and the L-moves ﻿

[OWP-2011-20] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2011-05-19)
In this survey paper we present the L-moves between braids and how they can adapt and serve for establishing and proving braid equivalence theorems for various diagrammatic settings, such as for classical knots, for knots ...
