Invariants of Flat Virtual Knots and Links
Abstract: This talk will discuss an index polynomial invariant of flat virtual knots that can often detect the difference between a knot and its orientation reverse.
We will give numerous examples including examples where the parity bracket invariant can detect more than the index invariant.
