Description for Study of Braids
Hardback. Offers a comprehensive exposition of the theory of braids, beginning with the basic mathematical definitions and structures. This book explains various topics such as: the braid group for various surfaces; the solution of the word problem for the braid group; and, braids in the context of knots and links (Alexander's theorem). Series: Mathematics and its Applications. Num Pages: 277 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBPD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 243 x 166 x 24. Weight in Grams: 594.
In Chapter 6, we describe the concept of braid equivalence from the topological point of view. This will lead us to a new concept braid homotopy that is discussed fully in the next chapter. As just mentioned, in Chapter 7, we shall discuss the difference between braid equivalence and braid homotopy. Also in this chapter, we define a homotopy braid invariant that turns out to be the so-called Milnor number. Chapter 8 is a quick review of knot theory, including Alexander's theorem. While, Chapters 9 is devoted to Markov's theorem, which allows the application of this theory to other fields. ... Read more
