Abstract: We introduce extit{Kaestner brackets}, a generalization of biquandle brackets to the case of parity biquandles. This infinite set of quantum enhancements of the biquandle counting invariant for oriented virtual knots and links includes the classical quantum invariants, the quandle and biquandle $2$-cocycle invariants and the classical biquandle brackets as special cases, coinciding with them for oriented classical knots and links but defining generally stronger invariants for oriented virtual knots and links. We provide examples to illustrate the computation of the new invariant and to show that it is stronger than the classical biquandle bracket invariant for virtual knots.

Review text

In recent years, various quantum enhancements of counting invariants of knots and virtual knots have been introduced. One of them, the biquandle bracket, is generalized in the present paper, to the case of parity biquandles. The resulting invariant of virtual knots and links is called the Kaestner bracket.
