This text is based on lectures delivered by the first author on various, often nonstandard, parts of knot theory and related subjects. By exploring contemporary topics in knot theory including those that have become mainstream, such as skein modules, Khovanov homology and Gram determinants motivated by knots, this book offers an innovative extension to the existing literature. Each lecture begins with a historical overview of a topic and gives motivation for the development of that subject. Understanding of most of the material in the book requires only a basic knowledge of topology and abstract algebra. The intended audience is beginning and advanced graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, and researchers interested in knot theory and its relations with other disciplines within mathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry.
Inclusion of many exercises, open problems, and conjectures enables the reader to enhance their understanding of the subject. The use of this text for the classroom is versatile and depends on the course level and choices made by the instructor. Suggestions for variations in course coverage are included in the Preface. The lecture style and array of topical coverage are hoped to inspire independent research and applications of the methods described in the book to other disciplines of science. An introduction to the topology of 3-dimensional manifolds is included in Appendices A and B. Lastly, Appendix C includes a Table of Knots.

Informazioni sull’autore
A distinguished mathematician, he received the Kazimierz Kuratowski Prize (1982), the Trachenberg prize (2010) and OVPR Distinguished Researcher Award (GWU). Przytycki received his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1981, and wrote his dissertation on incompressible surfaces in 3-manifoldsunder Joan S. Birman. He received his Master degree in Mathematics in 1977 from Warsaw University, in his native Poland. He was a postdoctoral fellow with Dale Rolfsen at the University of British Columbia, Kunio Murasugi at the University of Toronto and Vaughan Jones at University of California, Berkeley. He also spent a semester as a member at Institute for Advanced Study, 1990. In 1995 he started working at George Washington University. He obtained his Habilitation at Warsaw University, in December 1994 and Presidential Professorship in Poland in 2013. Over the years he has traveled throughout the word and spent time as a visiting professor in many fine universities (e.g. Berkeley, Toronto, Vancouver).
His research includes, classical knot theory, topology and geometry of 3- manifolds, algebraic topology based on knots, skein modules and algebras, homology theories motivated by knot theory, to name several. Przytycki has been invited to international conferences, and has served in a variety of capacities: as a speaker, co-organizer, and member of scientific committees. He is the co-organizer of a series of conferences: Knots in Washington (started in 1995) as well as Knots in Poland (I, II, III) and Knots in Hellas conferences (I and II). He has served as editor of several journals such as Fundamenta Mathematicae, journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramification, and Involve. Every December he organizes an intensive workshop for his students, "Mathathon", where some open problem is presented and usually at least partially solved.
Till date he has supervised sixteen PhD students.
Rhea Palak Bakshi was born and brought up in India. She did most of her schooling at Welham Girls' School in Dehradun. She received her B.Sc. Honors in Mathematics in 2014 from Lady Sri Ram College for Women at the University of Delhi and her M.Sc. in Mathematics in 2016 from the University of Mumbai. Thereafter, she moved to the United States and got a Ph.D. in Mathematics in 2021 from the George Washington University. Her research interests lie at the confluence of low-dimensional topology, quantum topology, and knot theory. She is particularly interested in the theory of skein modules and algebras, various related conjectures such as the volume conjecture and the AJ conjecture, TQFTs, Khovanov homology, and categorification. She is also the coauthor of two chapters on skein modules and algebras in the Encyclopedia of Knot Theory. She currently works as a Research Fellow at the Institute for Theoretical Studies at ETH Zürich in Switzerland.
Dionne Ibarra is a Research Fellow at Monash University Clayton campus, Australia. She was born in Fresno, California USA and obtained her BA in 2010 and MA in 2012 from California State University, Fresno under the supervision of Professor Carmen Caprau.
In the winter semester of 2020 she was a Junior fellow at Institut Mittag-Leffler in Djursholm, Sweden. In 2022, she received a PhD in Mathematics from the George Washington University and wrote her dissertation on framed links in 3-manifolds and algebraic approaches to knot theory under the supervision of Professor Jozef H. Przytycki. Her main research area is low-dimensional topology, knot theory, diagrammatic algebras, and quantum invariants of links and 3-manifolds. She has also conducted research in interpolation methods using unit quaternions through the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical Sciences Graduate Internship (MSGI) Program.
Gabriel Montoya-Vega was born in Barranquilla, Colombia where in 2015 he obtained a BS in Mathematics from the Universidad del Atlántico. In 2017 he completed a MS in Mathematics at the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez. He received a PhD in Mathematics in 2022 from the George Washington University. His main research area is knot theory, including invariants of links such as Fox colorings and Khovanov homology, and the history of knot theory.
After completing his PhD, he was awarded a National Science Foundation Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascend Postdoctoral Research Fellowship affiliated to the City University of New York Graduate Center and to the University of Puerto Rico at Río Piedras.

Diritto di recesso
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
-
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
-
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
