This book is an introduction to classical knot theory. Topics covered include: different constructions of knots, knot diagrams, knot groups, fibred knots, characterisation of torus knots, prime decomposition of knots, cyclic coverings and Alexander polynomials and modules together with the free differential calculus, braids, branched coverings and knots, Montesinos links, representations of knot groups, surgery of 3-manifolds and knots. Knot theory has expanded enormously since the first edition of this book published in 1985. A special feature of this second completely revised and extended edition is the introduction to two new constructions of knot invariants, namely the Jones and homfly polynomials and the Vassiliev invariants. The book contains many figures and some tables of invariants of knots. This comprehensive account is an indispensable reference source for anyone interested in both classical and modern knot theory. Most of the topics considered in the book are developed in detail; only the main properties of fundamental groups and some basic results of combinatorial group theory are assumed to be known. The text is accessible to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics.

The series is devoted to the publication of monographs and high-level textbooks in mathematics, mathematical methods and their applications. Apart from covering important areas of current interest, a major aim is to make topics of an interdisciplinary nature accessible to the non-specialist. The works in this series are addressed to advanced students and researchers in mathematics and theoretical physics. In addition, it can serve as a guide for lectures and seminars on a graduate level. The series de Gruyter Studies in Mathematics was founded ca. 35 years ago by the late Professor Heinz Bauer and Professor Peter Gabriel with the aim to establish a series of monographs and textbooks of high standard, written by scholars with an international reputation presenting current fields of research in pure and applied mathematics. While the editorial board of the Studies has changed with the years, the aspirations of the Studies are unchanged. In times of rapid growth of mathematical knowledge carefully written monographs and textbooks written by experts are needed more than ever, not least to pave the way for the next generation of mathematicians. In this sense the editorial board and the publisher of the Studies are devoted to continue the Studies as a service to the mathematical community. Please submit any book proposals to Niels Jacob. Titles in planning include Flavia Smarazzo and Alberto Tesei, Measure Theory: Radon Measures, Young Measures, and Applications to Parabolic Problems (2019) Elena Cordero and Luigi Rodino, Time-Frequency Analysis of Operators (2019) Mark M.

Dieser Text ist eine Einfiihrung in die Algebraische Topologie. Ausgehend von geometrisch-topologischen Problemen und aufbauend auf einer Fiille von Anschau ungsmaterial, das in Kapitel 1 bereitgestellt wird, werden algebraische Methoden zur Losung der topologischen Probleme entwickelt. lm Mittelpunkt steht aber im mer die topologische Fragestellungj auf eine Vertiefung und Verallgemeinerung der algebraischen Begriffe um ihrer selbst willen haben wir verzichtet. Mit den zentra len Begriffen Homotopie und Homologie werden tietliegende Eigenschaften topolo gischer Raume beschrieben. Um das moglichst einfach deutlich zu machen, haben wir die Satze nicht immer in ihrer vollen Allgemeinheit bewiesen. Ein Beispiel mehr war uns oft lieber als eine Voraussetzung weniger. Dieses Buch ist daher kein N achschlage-Werk. Viele interessante Gebiete der al gebraischen Topologie werden nicht behandelt. Wir hoffen jedoch, daf3 dieser Text denjenigen einen Zugang zur Algebraischen Topologie ermoglicht, die dieses Ge biet zum ersten Mal kennenlemen, und daf3 sie nach dem Studium dieses Buches weiterfiihrende Standardwerke lesen konnen. Wir wiinschen uns aber auch, daf3 dieses Buch denen als Arbeitsunterlage helfen kann, die ldeen und Methoden der Algebraischen Topologie in anderen Gebieten der Mathematik verwenden wollen.
