Title: Rewards for relating the unrelated: knots, graphs, and algebra
Abstract:
What does the mathematics of knots have to do with the mathematics of networks?
Knots are everywhere: in the strings of our DNA, in the structure of super-strong
materials, and in mathematics, where knots lurk behind all three-dimensional
shapes. Graphs model social networks, transit maps, neural nets, and are one of
the most basic objects in modern combinatorics. What do they have to do with each
other? And how can we use algebra - the science of numbers, operations, and
structure - to solve mysteries about both?
