Knots, Graphs, and Algebra, a Story of Surprises — Sydney Mathematical Research Institute Public Lecture
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. But what does the mathematics of knots have to do with the mathematics of…
