A cobordism between links in thickened surfaces consists of a surface S and a 3-manifold M, with S properly embedded in M×I. We show that there exist links in thickened surfaces such that if (S,M) is a cobordism between them in which S is simple, the... Read More about Ascent concordance.

A parity for 2-colourable links (2021)
Journal Article
Rushworth, W. (2021). A parity for 2-colourable links. Osaka Journal of Mathematics, 58(4), 767–801

We introduce the 2-colour parity. It is a theory of parity for a large class of virtual links, defined using the interaction between orientations of the link components and a certain type of colouring. The 2-colour parity is an extension of the Gauss... Read More about A parity for 2-colourable links.

Minimal crossing number implies minimal supporting genus (2021)
Journal Article
Boden, H., & Rushworth, W. (2021). Minimal crossing number implies minimal supporting genus. Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, 53(4), 1174-1184. https://doi.org/10.1112/blms.12491

A virtual link may be defined as an equivalence class of diagrams, or alternatively as a stable equivalence class of links in thickened surfaces. We prove that a minimal crossing virtual link diagram has minimal genus across representatives of the st... Read More about Minimal crossing number implies minimal supporting genus.
