On twisted cocycle invariants with coefficient Z
by
Zhiyun Cheng
Beijing Normal University & George Washington University

The twisted quandle cocycle invariants of knots were introduced by J S Carter, M Elhamdadi and M Saito in 2002. In this talk I will show that if we work with coefficient Z and T=1 or -1, then the twisted cocycle invariants are trivial for knots.
