Braid Groups
Σχετικά με το ebook
In this well-written presentation, motivated by numerous examples and problems, the authors introduce the basic theory of braid groups, highlighting several definitions that show their equivalence; this is followed by a treatment of the relationship between braids, knots and links. Important results then treat the linearity and orderability of the subject. Relevant additional material is included in five large appendices.
Braid Groups will serve graduate students and a number of mathematicians coming from diverse disciplines.
