Knots and Primes

This is a foundation for arithmetic topology - a new branch of mathematics which is focused upon the analogy between knot theory and number theory.    Starting with an informative introduction to its origins, namely Gauss, this text provides a background on knots, three manifolds and number fields. Common aspects of both knot theory and number theory, for instance knots in three manifolds versus primes in a number field, are compared throughout the book. These comparisons begin at an e
