A calculus for S3-diagrams of manifolds with boundary
Abstract
We introduce a diagrammatic language for compact, orientable 3-dimensional manifolds with boundary. A diagrammatic calculus (both integral and rational version) appropriate for this language is introduced and its completeness is proved in the paper. Moreover, a calculus consisting of a finite list of local moves is presented.
