Virtual Knots : The State of the Art, Hardcover by Manturov, Vassily Olegovich; Ilyutko, Denis Petrovich; Kauffman, Louis H. (INT), ISBN 9814401129, ISBN-13 9789814401128, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK Louis H. Kauffman, who coined the term virtual knot theory in the 1990s, states in his introduction that this is the first full-length book on the subject; and he discusses the concept's development and its orientation with regard to classical knot theory. Manturov (Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, Russia) and Ilyutko (Moscow State U., Russia) offer a comprehensive treatment. They begin with basic definitions and then address three-dimensional topology, distributive groupoids, the Jones-Kauffman polynomial atoms, Khovanov homology, virtual braids, Vassilierv's invariants and framed graphs, parity, and theory of graph-links.
