Bikei Homology
by
Sam Nelson
Claremont McKenna College
Coauthors: Jake Rosenfield

We introduce a modified homology and cohomology theory for involutory biquandles (also known as bikei). We use bikei 2-cocycles to enhance the bikei counting invariant for unoriented knots and links as well as unoriented and non-orientable knotted surfaces in R 4 .
