The manipulation of Dehn surgery descriptions by a certain set of operations.

A list of problems in low-dimensional topology maintained by Kirby (1995). The list currently runs about 380 pages.

An a×b rectangle can be packed with 1×n strips iff n|a or n|b.

Every Möbius strip dissection of unequal squares can be glued along its edge to produce a dissection of the Klein bottle. There are no other ways to tile a Klein bottle with ...

If a real algebraic curve has no singularities except nodes and cusps, bitangents, and inflection points, then n+2tau_2^'+iota^'=m+2delta_2^'+kappa^', where n is the order, ...

The knot curve is a quartic curve with implicit Cartesian equation (x^2-1)^2=y^2(3+2y). (1) The x- and y-intercepts are (0,-1), (0,1/2), and (+/-1,0). It has horizontal ...

The determinant of a knot is defined as |Delta(-1)|, where Delta(z) is the Alexander polynomial (Rolfsen 1976, p. 213).

The exterior of a knot K is the complement of an open solid torus knotted like K. The removed open solid torus is called a tubular neighborhood (Adams 1994, p. 258).

A knot invariant in the form of a polynomial such as the Alexander polynomial, BLM/Ho Polynomial, bracket polynomial, Conway polynomial, HOMFLY polynomial, Jones polynomial, ...

Let G denote the group of germs of holomorphic diffeomorphisms of (C,0). Then if |lambda|!=1, then G_lambda is a conjugacy class, i.e., all f in G_lambda are linearizable.
