Abstract
In this paper, we define and study flexible links and flexible isotopy in [Formula: see text]. Flexible links are meant to capture the topological properties of real algebraic links. We classify all flexible links up to flexible isotopy using Ekholm’s interpretation of Viro’s encomplexed writhe.
