The Roseman moves are seven types of local modifications for surface-link diagrams in 3-space which generate ambient isotopies of surface-links in 4-space. In this paper, we focus on Roseman moves involving triple points, one of which is the famou...

D. Roseman introduced seven types of local transformations of surface-link diagrams. It is known that a particular type can be realized by the other six types. There is another type that can be realized by the other six types. We show that any typ...

The clasp number c(K) of a knot K is the minimum number of clasp singularities among all clasp disks bounded by K. It is known that the genus g(K) and the unknotting number u(K) are lower bounds of the clasp number, that is, max{g(K), u(K)} <= ...
