Abstract

A coherent band surgery is a local move of an oriented knot or link by doing a surgery along an added band. The coherent band-Gordian distance between two links is the minimum number of coherent band surgeries needed to transform one into the other. We give a table of coherent band-Gordian distances between a knot and 2-component link with up to seven crossings.
