The intersection polynomials of a virtual knot I: Definitions and calculations

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

We introduce three kinds of invariants of a virtual knot called the first, second, and third intersection polynomials. The definition is based on the intersection number of a pair of curves on a closed surface. The calculations of intersection polynomials are given up to crossing number four. We also study several properties of intersection polynomials.
