In knot theory , a virtual knot is a generalization of the classical idea of knots in several ways that are all equivalent, introduced by harvtxt Kaufman 1999 . Overview In the theory of classical knots, knots can be considered equivalence classes of knot diagrams under the Reidemeister move s. Likewise a virtual knot can be considered an equivalence of virtual knot diagrams that are equivalent under generalized Reidemeister moves. A virtual knot diagram is a 4 valent planar graph, but each vertex is now allowed to be a classical crossing or a new type called virtual. The generalized moves show how to manipulate such diagrams to obtain an equivalent diagram one move called the semi virtual move involves both classical and virtual crossings, but all the other moves involve only one variety of crossing. A classical knot can also be considered an equivalence class of Gauss diagram s under certain moves coming from the Reidemeister moves. Not all Gauss diagrams are realizable as knot diagrams, but by considering all equivalence classes of Gauss diagrams we obtain virtual knots. A classical ... process destabilization.
