Knots, Links, Spatial Graphs, and Algebraic Invariants.
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Algebraic and Combinatorial Structures in Knot Theory and the AMS Special Session on Spatial Graphs, both held from October 24-25, 2015, at California State University, Fullerton, CA. Included in this volume are articles that draw on...
