Fox","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a sympathy of ideas among the fields of knot theory, infinite discrete group theory, and the topology of 3-manifolds. This book contains fifteen papers in which new results are proved in all three of these fields. These papers are dedicated to the memory of Ralph H. Fox, one of the world's leading topologists, by colleagues, former students, and friends. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn knot theory, papers have been contributed by Goldsmith, Levine, Lomonaco, Perko, Trotter, and Whitten. Of these several are devoted to the study of branched covering spaces over knots and links, while others utilize the braid groups of Artin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCossey and Smythe, Stallings, and Strasser address themselves to group theory. In his contribution Stallings describes the calculation of the groups \u003ci\u003eIn\/In+1\u003c\/i\u003e where \u003ci\u003eI\u003c\/i\u003e is the augmentation ideal in a group ring \u003ci\u003eRG\u003c\/i\u003e. As a consequence, one has for each k an example of a k-generator l-relator group with no free homomorphs. In the third part, papers by Birman, Cappell, Milnor, Montesinos, Papakyriakopoulos, and Shalen comprise the treatment of 3-manifolds. Milnor gives, besides important new results, an exposition of certain aspects of our current knowledge regarding the 3- dimensional Brieskorn manifolds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lee Paul Neuwirth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691081700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691081700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/1975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.54w x 1.10d","brand":"Lee Paul Neuwirth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086764945663,"sku":"9780691081700","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4df0cbf6-2d34-4504-b97d-8eec94210b64.jpg?v=1769096442","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knots-groups-and-3-manifolds-lee-paul-neuwirth-9780691081700","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
