An invariant of regular isotopy for disoriented links

İsmet ALTINTAŞ

In this paper, we define a two-variable polynomial invariant of regular isotopy, M_K for a disoriented link diagram K. By normalizing the polynomial M_K using complete writhe, we obtain a polynomial invariant of ambient isotopy, N_K, for a disoriented link diagram K. The polynomial N_K is a generalization of the expanded Jones polynomial for disoriented links and is an expansion of the Kauffman polynomial F to the disoriented links. Moreover, the polynomial M_K is an expansion of the Kauffman polynomial L to the disoriented links.
