Abstract

For a closed, connected, and oriented 3-manifold with a non-singular flow, we construct its virtual knot diagram via a “flow-spine” of the manifold. Then, we introduce a coloring invariant of 3-manifolds through their virtual knot diagrams, and classify some 3-manifolds by using the invariant.
