The $L$-move and Markov theorems for trivalent braids

Carmen Caprau, Gabriel Coloma and Marguerite Davis

Vol. 13 (2020), No. 1, 21–50
Abstract

The L-move for classical braids extends naturally to trivalent braids. We follow the L-move approach to the Markov theorem to prove a one-move Markov-type theorem for trivalent braids. We also reformulate this L-move Markov theorem and prove a more algebraic Markov-type theorem for trivalent braids. Along the way, we provide a proof of the Alexander theorem analogue for spatial trivalent graphs and trivalent braids.
