Virtual Strings for Closed Curves with Multiple Components and Filamentations for Virtual Links

The theory of filaments on oriented chord diagrams can be used to detect some non-classical virtual knots. We extend existing filament techniques to virtual links with more than one component and give examples of virtual links that these techniques can detect as non-classical. Given a signed Gauss w...
