## A Markov’s theorem for extended welded braids and links.(English)Zbl 1421.57007

Summary: Extended welded links are a generalization of Fenn, Rimányi, and Rourke’s welded links, cf. [R. Fenn et al., Topology 36, No. 1, 123–135 (1997; Zbl 0861.57010)]. Their braided counterpart are extended welded braids, which are closely related to ribbon braids and loop braids. In this paper we prove versions of Alexander and Markov’s theorems for extended welded braids and links, following S. Kamada’s approach [Osaka J. Math. 44, No. 2, 441–458 (2007; Zbl 1147.57008)] to the case of welded objects.
