Based Matrices for Links
by
David Freund
Dartmouth College

Flat virtual links can be realized as free homotopy classes of loops on surfaces considered up to stabilization and destabilization. In 2004, making use of a particular surface representation, Turaev developed a based matrix for flat virtual knots and discovered several corresponding knot invariants. We construct a generalization of Turaev's based matrix for flat virtual links and discuss analogous link invariants.
