Abstract
Tied links in [Formula: see text] were introduced by Aicardi and Juyumaya as standard links in [Formula: see text] equipped with some non-embedded arcs, called ties, joining some components of the link. Tied links in the Solid Torus were then naturally generalized by Flores. In this paper, we study this new class of links in other topological settings. More precisely, we study tied links in the lens spaces [Formula: see text], in handlebodies of genus [Formula: see text], and in the complement of the [Formula: see text]-component unlink. We introduce the tied braid monoids [Formula: see text] by combining the algebraic mixed braid groups defined by Lambropoulou and the tied braid monoid, and we formulate and prove analogues of the Alexander and the Markov theorems for tied links in the 3-manifolds mentioned above. We also present an [Formula: see text]-move braid equivalence for tied braids and we discuss further research related to tied links in knot complements and c.c.o. 3-manifolds. The theory of tied links has potential use in some aspects of molecular biology.
