Self-dual Maps III: projective links
Abstract
In this paper, we present necessary and sufficient combinatorial conditions for a link to be projective, that is, a link in RP3. This characterization is closely related to the notions of antipodally self-dual and antipodally symmetric maps. We also discuss the notion of symmetric cycle, an interesting issue arising in projective links leading us to an easy condition to prevent a projective link to be alternating.
