To a closed braid in a solid torus we associate a trace graph in a thickened torus in such a way that closed braids are isotopic if and only if their trace graphs can be related by trihedral and tetrahedral moves. For closed braids with a fixed numbe... Read More about Recognizing trace graphs of closed braids.
