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.

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 …
