Knot theory is dealing with embedding of curves in manifolds of dimension 3. A knot is a single circle embedded in the affine space of dimension 3 as a smooth curve not crossing itself. Many knot invariants are known and can be used to distinguish knots.

Knot invariants in WZW CFT via Holographic Principle
In the physics literature the Holographic Principle relates
theories in the bulk and the theories in the asymptotic boundary.
While the bulk theory is the 3D Chern-Simons theory, the
corresponding bou …

Khovanov $A_\infty$ algebra
Let $L$ be a link in $\mathbb{R}^3$, with $D, D'$ be diagrams in
$\mathbb{R}^2$ representing $L$. Khovanov constructed two graded
chain complexes $$C_{D} = (Ch_{D}, d_{D}) \quad C_{D'}=(Ch_{D'},
d_{D' …

Kirby's theorem for 4-manifolds
In dimension 3, we have the celebrated Kirby theorem: Let $L_1, L_2$ be two links in the 3-sphere $S^3$; then they surgeries along them produce homeomorphic 3-manifolds if and only if they are related …

Inverse Kirby knot
Given an (oriented framed) knot $K$ in the 3-sphere $S^3$, we can perform a surgery along $K$ to get another 3-manifold $M$. From $M$, we can perform the inverse surgery back to $S^3$.
However, the da …

Normal form of framed links under Kirby moves
It's well known that any oriented closed 3-manifold (topological or smooth) can be obtained by surgerizing along a (framed oriented) link $L$ in the 3-sphere $S^{3}$. Even better, Kirby found a comple …

Link invariants from modular categories (strictification and computation)
By the theory of Reshetikhin and Turaev, a modular tensor category $C$ gives rise to a link invariant. While $C$ is strict as a monoidal category (e.g. $\mathbb{Fib}$), calculating the link can be mad …

Presentations of mapping class groups in dimension $3$
For any closed oriented surface $M$, its mapping class group $MCG(M)$ can be generated by Dehn twists along certain curves on $M$. A presentation for the group $MCG(M)$ was found in [1] and then simpl …
