Abstract: We inductively define layers of colorings of knot and knotted surface diagrams using ternary quasigroups. Homological invariants from such systems of colorings use shorter differentials and of higher degree than the standard homology differentials, and give access to typically more complex homology groups.

Review text

The main results are as follow. For a knot (or knotted surface) diagram, a knot-theoretic ternary quasigroup (KTQ) and a KTQ-coloring, the author gives new KTQ-colorings, which form a coloring system called a layered coloring. Using a layered coloring, the author constructs a homology that is a generalization of the standard KTQ homology, whose cycles give a new invariant for knots or knotted surfaces. Examples of computation are given. The author gives a layered coloring as a system of region colorings by using colorings called right coloring and left coloring. We review the main terms. A ternary quasigroup is a set \(X\) with a ternary operation \([ \,]: X^3 \to X\) such that for \(x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4 \in X\) satisfying \([x_1x_2x_3]=x_4\), the specification of any three elements determines the remaining one element uniquely. A knot-theoretic ternary quasigroup (KTQ) is a ternary quasigroup satisfying certain conditions derived from the Reidemeister move III. A KTQ-coloring is a map which assigns an element of a KTQ to each region of a knot (or knotted surface) diagram, where a region is a connected component of the complement of the diagram. And the standard KTQ homology theory has been established in the author's earlier work [``Homology of ternary algebras yielding invariants of knots and knotted surfaces, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1706.04307}, to appear in Algebr. Geom. Topol.].
