Abstract

In this paper we study the set T of triplets (E, A, B), where E pertenece {-1,1}n, A pertenece Zn and B is an integral antisymmetric matrix of order n, n pertenece Nu{0}. We define an equivalence relation on the set T and then we study properties of its equivalence classes. We describe a method to assign to each virtual knot diagram a triplet, and this is the motivation to study the set of triplets. As the assignation of a triplet depends on the virtual knot diagram, it is not a virtual knot invariant. But we try to solve this problem by using the equivalence relation defined on T.
