Biquandles and knots invariants
by
Mohamed Elhamdadi
University of South Florida
Coauthors: Scott Carter and Masahico Saito

Biquandles are related to set theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Most examples known come from generalizations of the Burau representation.

We will give examples coming from Wada's representations of the braid groups as free group automorphisms and use them to study virtual knots.
