On biquandles for the groups $G_n^k$ and surface singular braid monoid

Abstract

The groups $G_n^k$ were defined by V. O. Manturov in order to describe dynamical systems in configuration systems. In the paper we consider two applications of this theory: we define a biquandle structure on the groups $G_n^k$, and construct a homomorphism from the surface singular braid monoid to the group $G_n^2$.
