Abstract

A complete Reidemeister characterisation of welded links is a long-standing open problem. We present a Reidemeister theorem for a related class of four-dimensional links: solid ribbon torus links, that is, immersed solid tori in $\mathbb {R}^4$ with only ribbon singularities, considered up to generalised ribbon isotopy.
