Abstract:
In the present paper, we construct an invariant of knots in the thickened sphere with $g$g handles dependent on $2g+3$ variables. In the construction of the invariant we use the Wirtinger presentation of the knot group and the concept of parity introduced by Manturov [9]. In the present paper, we also consider examples of knots in the thickened torus considered in [2] such that their nonequivalence is proved by using the constructed polynomial.
