Every oriented knot or link in S3 can be represented in many ways as the closure of a braid β ∈ Bn, the braid group on n strings, for some n. Braids β ∈ Bn, γ ∈ Bm are called closure-equivalent if and are equivalent as oriented knots. It is a well-known result of Markov, see, for example, (l), that β and γ are closure equivalent if and only if there is a sequence of elementary (Markov) moves in which β ∈ Bn is replaced by (a) a conjugate in Bn, or , or (c) β1 ∈ Bn−1, where , and the process repeated until γ is reached.
