Ribbon Biquandles and Virtual Knotted Surfaces
by
Sam Nelson
Claremont McKenna College
Coauthors: Patricia Rivera (Claremont High)

Ribbon biquandles are a type of biquandle which can be used to define an invariant of knotted and virtual knotted surfaces represented by ch-diagrams (also known as marked vertex diagrams). In this talk we will introduce the new invariant and see some examples.
