Abstract

Generalized Reidemeister moves provide an extended set of moves to work with virtual knots and links. We introduce virtual tangle moves, generalization of classical rational tangle moves and show that such generalizations are essential to develop new invariants of virtual knots and links. We show that every 2-algebraic virtual link is a virtual 4-move equivalent to a trivial link or Hopf link. The properties of virtual tangle move are analyzed on few existing invariants associated with virtual knots and links.
