Clasp-ribbon surface-links in 4-space

Coauthors: Kengo Kawamura

Ribbon surface-links are surface-links which bound handlebodies in 4-space with ribbon singularities. We generalize them to clasp-ribbon surface-links, which bound handlebodies in 4-space with clasp or ribbon singularities. We give a characterization of them, and discuss their normal forms.
