Abstract

AbstractWe prove that region crossing change on a link diagram is an unknotting operation if and only if the link is proper. This generalizes the related results in [10] and [2]. Furthermore by studying the relation between region crossing change and the Arf invariant, a new approach to the Arf invariant of proper links is given.
