Thistlethwaite theorems for knotoids and linkoids
An extension of the classical Thistlethwaite theorem for links asserts that the Kauff-man bracket of a link can be obtained from an evaluation of the Bollob´as–Riordanpolynomial of a ribbon graph associated to one of the link’s Kauffman states. In thispaper, we further extend this result to knotoids, which are a generalization of knots thatnaturally arise in applications such as DNA and protein topology. Specifically we extendthe Thistlethwaite theorem to the twisted arrow polynomial of knotoids, which is aninvariant of knotoids on compact, not necessarily orientable, surfaces. To this end, wedefine twisted knotoids, marked ribbon graphs, and their arrow- and Bollob´as–Riordanpolynomials. We also extend the Thistlethwaite theorem to the loop arrow polynomialof knotoids in the plane, and to spherical linkoids
