Knotted surfaces and their diagrams / J. Scott Carter, Masahico Saito

Bok av J. Scott Carter
In this text, the authors develop the theory of knotted surfaces in analogy with the classical case of knotted curves in three-dimensional space. Knotted surface diagrams are defined; the theory of Reidemeister moves is developed; and the braid theory of knotted surfaces is reviewed.
