A singular braid monoid associated to knotted surfaces
by
Michal Jablonowski
University of Gdansk

We describe in this talk a view to knotted surfaces in the four space as elements of a monoid with four types of generators: two classical braid generators and two of singular braid types. We present local and global relations on words that do not change a corresponding surface-knot type.
