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.

Different flavours of Vassiliev Conjecture
There is something that puzzles me about "Vassiliev's Conjecture". I am sure I am missing some detail which is obvious to the community, since there are several tightly related kind of results around …

Thurston universe gates in knots: which invariant is it?
Today I discovered this nice video of a lecture by Thurston:
https://youtu.be/daplYX6Oshc
in which he explains how a knot can be turned into a "fabric for universes". For example, the unknot can be th …

Probabilistic knot theory
There could be a very hands-down, but still general, approach to this problem, that to a certain extent permits to calculate the distribution of some invariants.
Consider the configuration space of n …

Name for homotopy totalization of Goodwillie tower (in embedding calculus)
Let $M,N$ be a manifold and consider the presheaf of spaces $\textrm{Emb}(-, N)$ on the open sets of $M$. Classical embedding calculus produces a goodwillie tower
$$ \ldots \rightarrow T_{k+1} \textrm …
