About this title

Synopsis

The proceedings of the March 1998 conference in New York contain thirteen papers representing the diversity of specialties in the area of low-dimensional typology. They discuss geometric knot theory, subgroup separability, hyperbolic planes, the intersections of essential simple closed curves, implicit function theorems, the Kauffman polynomial, Heegaard splittings, multiplicative structures and simple loops, Algebra Situs, and knot invariants.
