Hyperbolic knot theory concerns itself with the study of knots and links embedded in three‐dimensional spaces that admit hyperbolic structures. The geometry of a link complement—the manifold that ...
Margaret Wertheim gave a talk for the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute at their 2016 annual Summer School. We have built a world of largely straight lines – the houses we live in, the ...
In mathematics, hyperbolic geometry is a non-Euclidean geometry, meaning that the parallel postulate of Euclidean geometry is rejected. The parallel postulate in Euclidean geometry states, for two ...
In our mind’s eye, the universe seems to go on forever. But using geometry we can explore a variety of three-dimensional shapes that offer alternatives to “ordinary” infinite space. When you gaze out ...
Complex hyperbolic geometry investigates spaces that combine the subtleties of complex structures with non‐Euclidean, negatively curved metrics, offering rich terrain for both theoretical exploration ...
Geometry boasts a rich and captivating history within the realm of mathematics. In its early development, it was deeply rooted in practical observation used to describe essential concepts such as ...
