Abstract

In this paper, we study the Gauss diagrams for periodic virtual knots (Theorem 3.1) and show that the virtual knot corresponding to a periodic Gauss diagram is equivalent to the periodic virtual knot whose factor is the virtual knot corresponding to the factor Gauss diagram (Theorem 3.2). We give formulae for the writhe polynomial and the affine index polynomial of periodic virtual knots by using those of factor knots (Corollary 4.2, Corollary 4.6).
