Abstract
In the talk I will review a way of constructing invariants of knots in S^3, thickened torus and thickened cylinder that was introduced by V. O. Manturov and I. M. Nikonov. The idea is to map the knots to flat virtual diagrams and use invariants of flat virtual diagrams. Besides I will talk about my findings on the diagrams which we get by this approach and how they lead to a hypothesis that the potential of this approach for getting very strong invariants of knots is small.
