New Directions in Geometric and Applied Knot Theory

The aim of this book is to present recent results in both theoretical and applied knot theory-which are at the same time stimulating for leading researchers in the ?eld as well as accessible to non-experts. The book comprises recent research results while covering a wide range of di?erent sub-disciplines, such as the young ?eld of geometric knot theory, combinatorial knot theory, as well as applications in microbiology and theoretical physics.
