Volume Conjecture for Knots by Hitoshi Murakami
English | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 126 Pages | ISBN : 9811311498 | 20.7 MB

The volume conjecture states that a certain limit of the colored Jones polynomial of a knot in the three-dimensional sphere would give the volume of the knot complement. Here the colored Jones polynomial is a generalization of the celebrated Jones polynomial and is defined by using a so-called R-matrix that is associated with the N-dimensional representation of the Lie algebra sl(2;C). The volume conjecture was first stated by R. Kashaev in terms of his own invariant defined by using the quantum dilogarithm. Later H. Murakami and J. Murakami proved that Kashaev's invariant is nothing but the N-dimensional colored Jones polynomial evaluated at the Nth root of unity. Then the volume conjecture turns out to be a conjecture that relates an algebraic object, the colored Jones polynomial, with a geometric object, the volume.
In this book we start with the definition of the colored Jones polynomial by using braid presentations of knots. Then we state the volume conjecture and give a very elementary proof of the conjecture for the figure-eight knot following T. Ekholm. We then give a rough idea of the "proof", that is, we show why we think the conjecture is true at least in the case of hyperbolic knots by showing how the summation formula for the colored Jones polynomial "looks like" the hyperbolicity equations of the knot complement.

We also describe a generalization of the volume conjecture that corresponds to a deformation of the complete hyperbolic structure of a knot complement. This generalization would relate the colored Jones polynomial of a knot to the volume and the Chern-Simons invariant of a certain representation of the fundamental group of the knot complement to the Lie group SL(2;C).

We finish by mentioning further generalizations of the volume conjecture.

English | June 6, 2017 | ISBN: 1510716068 | PDF / EPUB | 160 pages | 2 MB / 7 MB

Knowing the ropes when a catastrophic situation strikes can be the key to survival, and in The Pocket Guide to Prepper Knots, Patty Hahne demonstrates the most important multi-purpose knots preppers should be prepared to know. Illustrated with step-by-step instructions for tying them and the knots being used in various situations, the book covers such topic as:

• The uses for various types of ropes as well as their advantages and disadvantages
• How putting a knot in a rope affects its overall strength
• Why being proficient in a few multi-purpose knots is more beneficial than being vaguely familiar with a large number of knots
• And much more

The Pocket Guide to Prepper Knots is a valuable addition to any prepper's book collection. Its compact design makes it easy to carry in a purse or pocket, stored in the car, or slipped into a bug-out bag.

Get into Character

As a kid, Samuel L. Jackson stuttered so badly that he stopped talking for almost a year. Today he's one of the world's most successful actors, with roles in over 100 films, including Pulp Fiction and The Avengers. For the first time, the Oscar nominated star teaches how he creates memorable characters, powerful performances, and a long-lasting career. Learn to master auditions, analyze scripts, and find the truth in every role you play.

Lesson Plan

06. Student Session: Breaking Down a Script - Part 2
Get inside Jules's head as Sam breaks down the Ezekiel passage and walks the students through the different ways the character could perform the scene.

07. Student Session: Character Biographies
Creating in-depth character backstory is an integral part of Sam's process. He pushes the students to develop a connection with Jules by imagining his life story and how he got to this moment in the diner.

08. Student Session: Make It Your Own
One of the student actors puts a unique spin on Jules, showing that there are many "right" ways to create characters.

09. Voice & Character
Sam reveals how his childhood experiences have informed his approach to character voices throughout his career, and discusses his method of developing a vocalization plan.

10. Student Session: Plumb Your Emotional Depths
Sam directs the actors to perform a scene from The Negotiator in which two characters-Danny and Farley-are on opposite ends of the power spectrum. Students play the scene and then switch roles.

Knots, Molecules, and the Universe: An Introduction to Topology by Erica Flapan
English | 30 Dec. 2015 | ISBN: 1470425351 | 386 Pages | PDF | 18.53 MB

This book is an elementary introduction to geometric topology and its applications to chemistry, molecular biology, and cosmology. It does not assume any mathematical or scientific background, sophistication, or even motivation to study mathematics. It is meant to be fun and engaging while drawing students in to learn about fundamental topological and geometric ideas. Though the book can be read and enjoyed by nonmathematicians, college students, or even eager high college students, it is intended to be used as an undergraduate textbook.
The book is divided into three parts corresponding to the three areas referred to in the title. Part 1 develops techniques that enable two- and three-dimensional creatures to visualize possible shapes for their universe and to use topological and geometric properties to distinguish one such space from another. Part 2 is an introduction to knot theory with an emphasis on invariants. Part 3 presents applications of topology and geometry to molecular symmetries, DNA, and proteins. Each chapter ends with exercises that allow for better understanding of the material.
The style of the book is informal and lively. Though all of the definitions and theorems are explicitly stated, they are given in an intuitive rather than a rigorous form, with several hundreds of figures illustrating the exposition. This allows students to develop intuition about topology and geometry without getting bogged down in technical details.

2004 | ISBN-10: 0821836781 | 307 pages | PDF | 56 MB

Knots are familiar objects. We use them to moor our boats, to wrap our packages, to tie our shoes. Yet the mathematical theory of knots quickly leads to deep results in topology and geometry. "The Knot Book" is an introduction to this rich theory, starting with our familiar understanding of knots and a bit of college algebra and finishing with exciting topics of current research. "The Knot Book" is also about the excitement of doing mathematics. Colin Adams engages the reader with fascinating examples, superb figures, and thought-provoking ideas. He also presents the remarkable applications of knot theory to modern chemistry, biology, and physics. This is a compelling book that will comfortably escort you into the marvelous world of knot theory. Whether you are a mathematics student, someone working in a related field, or an amateur mathematician, you will find much of interest in "The Knot Book".Colin Adams received the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) Award for Distinguished Teaching and has been an MAA Polya Lecturer and a Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecturer. Other key books of interest available from the "AMS" are "Knots and Links" and "The Shoelace Book: A Mathematical Guide to the Best (and Worst) Ways to Lace your Shoes".

Trees, Knots, and Outriggers: Environmental Knowledge in the Northeast Kula Ring
Berghahn Books | English | 2017 | ISBN-10: 1785333208 | 390 pages | PDF | 2.11 mb

by Frederick H. Damon (Author)

Trees, Knots and Outriggers (Kaynen Muyuw) is the culmination of twenty-five years of work by Frederick H. Damon and his attention to cultural adaptations to the environment in Melanesia. Damon details the intricacies of indigenous knowledge and practice in his sweeping synthesis of symbolic and structuralist anthropology with recent developments in historical ecology. This book is a long conversation between the author's many Papua New Guinea informants, teachers and friends, and scientists in Australia, Europe and the United States, in which a spirit of adventure and discovery is palpable.

Review
"A rare and formidable work. This is a wholly distinctive contribution to multi-species ethnography, of environments made as people tie living materials to one another. It is also a wholly original account of the research process: had Damon not recorded the patchiness of knowledge - locally, regionally - he would not have understood how people draw things together and keep them moving at the same time. String figures, he was told, untie the mind and keep it supple - so does this energizing book." · Marilyn Strathern, University of Cambridge

"This is a hugely important book. It's publication marks a milestone in anthropological theory - a must read in any course concerned with material culture, science and technology, and human ecology, and a treasure for those interested in maritime cultures." · Susanne Kuechler, University College London

"This research is a bold undertaking in its intention and in its attention to detail. this book leaves no stone unturned, no leaf unexamined, no canoe fixture unquestioned." · Shirley Campbell, Australian National University

About the Author
Frederick H. Damon is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Virginia.

Inka History in Knots : Reading Khipus As Primary Sources
by Gary Urton
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1477311998 | 320 Pages | PDF | 38 MB

Inka khipus-spun and plied cords that record information through intricate patterns of knots and colors-constitute the only available primary sources on the Inka empire not mediated by the hands, minds, and motives of the conquering Europeans. As such, they offer direct insight into the worldview of the Inka-a view that differs from European thought as much as khipus differ from alphabetic writing, which the Inka did not possess. Scholars have spent decades attempting to decipher the Inka khipus, and Gary Urton has become the world's leading authority on these artifacts.

In Inka History in Knots, Urton marshals a lifetime of study to offer a grand overview of the types of quantative information recorded in khipus and to show how these records can be used as primary sources for an Inka history of the empire that focuses on statistics, demography, and the 'longue duree' social processes that characterize a civilization continuously adapting to and exploiting its environment. Whether the Inka khipu keepers were registering census data, recording tribute, or performing many other administrative tasks, Urton asserts that they were key players in the organization and control of subject populations throughout the empire and that khipu record-keeping vitally contributed to the emergence of political complexity in the Andes. This new view of the importance of khipus promises to fundamentally reorient our understanding of the development of the Inka state and the possibilities for writing its history.
