Orbits by the up-down action of braid diagrams

The set of all virtual or classical braid diagrams forms a monoid and gives a natural monoid action on a direct product of ${\mathbb Z}$ called the up-down action. In this paper, we determine the orbit of every tuple of ${\mathbb Z}$ under the up-down action of virtual or classical braid diagrams. Moreover, we determine the orbit for irreducible braid diagrams. We also consider the isotropy submonoid and give a condition for a braid diagram to admit an up-down coloring to its closure.
