  In this paper we introduce and study the theories of pseudo links and
singular links in the Solid Torus, ST. Pseudo links are links with some missing
crossing information that naturally generalize the notion of knot diagrams, and
that have potential use in molecular biology, while singular links are links
that contain a finite number of self-intersections. We consider pseudo links
and singular links in ST and we set up the appropriate topological theory in
order to construct invariants for these types of links in ST. In particular, we
formulate and prove the analogue of the Alexander theorem for pseudo links and
for singular links in ST. We then introduce the mixed pseudo braid monoid and
the mixed singular braid monoid, with the use of which, we formulate and prove
the analogue of the Markov theorem for pseudo links and for singular links in
ST. \smallbreak Moreover, we introduce the pseudo Hecke algebra of type A,
$P\mathcal{H}_n$, the cyclotomic and generalized pseudo Hecke algebras of type
B, $P\mathcal{H}_{1, n}$, and discuss how the pseudo braid monoid (cor. the
mixed pseudo braid monoid) can be represented by $P\mathcal{H}_{n}$ (cor. by
$P\mathcal{H}_{1, n}$). This is the first step toward the construction of
HOMFLYPT-type invariants for pseudo links in $S^3$ and in ST. We also introduce
the cyclotomic and generalized singular Hecke algebras of type B,
$S\mathcal{H}_{1, n}$, and we present two sets that we conjecture that they
form linear bases for $S\mathcal{H}_{1, n}$. Finally, we generalize the bracket
polynomial for pseudo links in ST.
