Birack Bracket Quivers and Framed Links
Abstract
We introduce birack brackets, skein invariants of birack-colored framed classical and virtual knots and links with values in a commutative unital ring. The multiset of birack bracket values over the homset from a framed link's fundamental birack then forms an invariant of framed links. We then categorify this multiset to define a quiver-valued invariant of framed knots and links. From this quiver we define new polynomial invariants of framed knots and links.
