Knots, Links and Their Invariants
This book is an elementary introduction to knot theory. Unlike many other books on knot theory, this book has practically no prerequisites; it requires only basic plane and spatial Euclidean geometry but no knowledge of topology or group theory. It contains the first elementary proof of the existence of the Alexander polynomial of a knot or a link based on the Conway axioms, particularly the Conway skein relation. The book also contains an elementary exposition of the Jones polynomial, HOMFLY polynomial and Vassiliev knot invariants constructed using the Kontsevich integral. Additionally, there is a lecture introducing the braid group and shows its connection with knots and links. Other important features of the book are the large number of original illustrations, numerous exercises and the absence of any references in the first eleven lectures. The last two lectures differ from the first eleven: they comprise a sketch of non-elementary topics and a brief history of the subject, including many references.
Knots, Links, Braids and 3-Manifolds
This book is an introduction to the remarkable work of Vaughan Jones and Victor Vassiliev on knot and link invariants and its recent modifications and generalizations, including a mathematical treatment of Jones-Witten invariants. The mathematical prerequisites are minimal compared to other monographs in this area. Numerous figures and problems make this book suitable as a graduate level course text or for self-study.
MASS Selecta
This book results from a unique and innovative program at Pennsylvania State University. Under the program, the ''best of the best'' students nationwide are chosen to study challenging mathematical areas under the guidance of experienced mathematicians. This program, Mathematics Advanced Study Semesters (MASS), offers an unparalleled opportunity for talented undergraduate students who are serious in the pursuit of mathematical knowledge. This volume represents various aspects of the MASS program over its six-year existence, including core courses, summer courses, students' research, and colloquium talks. The book is most appropriate for college professors of mathematics who work with bright ...
Lie Groups and Lie Algebras
This collection contains papers conceptually related to the classical ideas of Sophus Lie (i.e., to Lie groups and Lie algebras). Obviously, it is impos sible to embrace all such topics in a book of reasonable size. The contents of this one reflect the scientific interests of those authors whose activities, to some extent at least, are associated with the International Sophus Lie Center. We have divided the book into five parts in accordance with the basic topics of the papers (although it can be easily seen that some of them may be attributed to several parts simultaneously). The first part (quantum mathematics) combines the papers related to the methods generated by the concepts of quantiz...
The Diverse World of PDEs
This volume contains the proceedings of the Alexandre Vinogradov Memorial Conference on Diffieties, Cohomological Physics, and Other Animals, held from December 13–17, 2021, at the Independent University of Moscow and Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia. The papers are devoted to various interrelations of nonlinear PDEs with geometry and integrable systems. The topics discussed are: gravitational and electromagnetic fields in General Relativity, nonlocal geometry of PDEs, Legendre foliated cocycles on contact manifolds, presymplectic gauge PDEs and Lagrangian BV formalism, jet geometry and high-order phase transitions, bi-Hamiltonian structures of KdV type, bundles of Weyl structures, Lax representations via twisted extensions of Lie algebras, energy functionals and normal forms of knots, and differential invariants of inviscid flows. The companion volume (Contemporary Mathematics, Volume 789) is devoted to Algebraic and Cohomological Aspects of PDEs.
The Diverse World of PDEs
This volume contains the proceedings of the Alexandre Vinogradov Memorial Conference on Diffieties, Cohomological Physics, and Other Animals, held from December 13–17, 2021, at Independent University of Moscow and Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia. The papers reflect the modern interplay between partial differential equations and various aspects of algebra and computer science. The topics discussed are: relations between integrability and differential rings, supermanifolds, differential calculus over graded algebras, noncommutative generalizations of PDEs, quantum vector fields, generalized Nijenhuis torsion, cohomological approach to the geometry of differential equations, the argument shift method, Frölicher structures in the formal Kadomtsev–Petviashvili hierarchy, and computer-based determination of optimal systems of Lie subalgebras. The companion volume (Contemporary Mathematics, Volume 788) is devoted to Geometry and Mathematical Physics.
Geometries
The book is an innovative modern exposition of geometry, or rather, of geometries; it is the first textbook in which Felix Klein's Erlangen Program (the action of transformation groups) is systematically used as the basis for defining various geometries. The course of study presented is dedicated to the proposition that all geometries are created equal--although some, of course, remain more equal than others. The author concentrates on several of the more distinguished and beautiful ones, which include what he terms ``toy geometries'', the geometries of Platonic bodies, discrete geometries, and classical continuous geometries. The text is based on first-year semester course lectures delivere...
Knots
This book, written by a mathematician known for his own work on knot theory, is a clear, concise, and engaging introduction to this complicated subject, and a guide to the basic ideas and applications of knot theory. 63 illustrations.

Convex Polyhedra
This classic geometry text explores the theory of 3-dimensional convex polyhedra in a unique fashion, with exceptional detail. Vital and clearly written, the book includes the basics of convex polyhedra and collects the most general existence theorems for convex polyhedra that are proved by a new and unified method. This edition includes a comprehensive bibliography by V.A. Zalgaller, and related papers as supplements to the original text.
