Tabulation of knots up to five triple-crossings and moves between oriented diagrams

Abstract

We enumerate and show tables of minimal diagrams for all prime knots up to the triple-crossing number equal to five. We derive a minimal generating set of oriented moves connecting triple-crossing diagrams of the same oriented knot. We also present a conjecture about a strict lower bound of the triple-crossing number of a knot related to the breadth of its Alexander polynomial.
