By Kunio Murasugi,B. Kurpita

In bankruptcy 6, we describe the concept that of braid equivalence from the topological perspective. this can lead us to a brand new proposal braid homotopy that's mentioned absolutely within the subsequent bankruptcy. As simply pointed out, in bankruptcy 7, we will talk about the variation among braid equivalence and braid homotopy. additionally during this bankruptcy, we outline a homotopy braid invariant that seems to be the so-called Milnor quantity. bankruptcy eight is a short evaluate of knot idea, together with Alexander's theorem. whereas, Chapters nine is dedicated to Markov's theorem, which permits the applying of this concept to different fields. This was once one of many motivations Artin had in brain while he all started learning braid idea. In bankruptcy 10, we speak about the first functions of braid idea to knot concept, together with the creation of an important invariants of knot thought, the Alexander polynomial and the Jones polynomial. In bankruptcy eleven, influenced through Dirac's string challenge, the normal braid workforce is generalized to the braid teams of varied surfaces. We talk about those teams from an intuitive and diagrammatic perspective. within the final brief bankruptcy 12, we current with no facts one theorem, as a result of Gorin and Lin [GoL] , that could be a dazzling software of braid thought to the speculation of algebraic equations.
