Knots, Links, Spatial Graphs, and Algebraic Invariants
Share this pageEdited by Erica Flapan; Allison Henrich; Aaron Kaestner; Sam Nelson
This volume contains the proceedings of the
AMS Special Session on Algebraic and Combinatorial Structures in Knot
Theory and the AMS Special Session on Spatial Graphs, both held from
October 24–25, 2015, at California State University, Fullerton,
CA.
Included in this volume are articles that draw on techniques from
geometry and algebra to address topological problems about knot theory
and spatial graph theory, and their combinatorial generalizations to
equivalence classes of diagrams that are preserved under a set of
Reidemeister-type moves.
The interconnections of these areas and their connections within
the broader field of topology are illustrated by articles about knots
and links in spatial graphs and symmetries of spatial graphs in
\(S^3\) and other 3-manifolds.
Readership
Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in knot theory.
