With style and content accessible to beginning students interested in geometric topology, each chapter centres around a key theorem or theorems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis research monograph is a highly readable and pleasant introduction to the toolkits that the authors call braid foliation techniques, a small but relatively underdeveloped corner of low-dimensional topology and geometry. It is written at a level that will be accessible to graduate students and researchers and is carefully structured and filled with useful examples.\" — J.S. Birman, \u003cem\u003eMathematical Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The AMS once more presents the mathematical community with a strong text geared to getting graduate students and other relative beginners into the game. The present book is thorough and well-structured, leads the reader pretty deeply into the indicated parts of knot and link-theory and low-dimensional topology and does so effectively and (as far as I can tell) rather painlessly...All in all, the book looks like a hit.\" — Michael Berg, \u003cem\u003eMAA Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinks and closed braids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBraid foliations and Markov's theorem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExchange moves and Jones' conjecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransverse links and Bennequin's inequality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe transverse Markov theorem and simplicity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBotany of braids and transverse knots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlypes and transverse nonsimplicity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArc presentations of links and braid foliations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBraid foliations and Legendrian links\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBraid foliations and braid groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen book foliations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBraid foliations and convex surface theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MP-AMM American Mathematical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50041318474071,"sku":"9781470436605","price":108.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781470436605.jpg?v=1740182235","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/braid-foliations-in-lowdimensional-topology-9781470436605","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
