Knots (Q5891117)

This is the third edition of the worldwide famous book on knots. For reviews of the first and second editions, see [Zbl 0568.57001] and [Zbl 1009.57003]. One author is added, and some sections are greatly rewritten. For example, in Chapter 3, a solution of the Property \(P\) conjecture by \textit{P. Kronheimer} and \textit{T. Mrowka} [Geom. Topol. 8, 295--310 (2004; Zbl 1072.57005)] is commented. In Chapter 5, a condition on fiberedness of satellite knots by \textit{M. Hirasawa} et al. [Hiroshima Math. J. 38, No. 3, 411--423 (2008; Zbl 1180.57011)] is described. Moreover, a new chapter, which includes a proof of Schubert's theorem about the additivity of bridge number, is added. The original argument is long and written in German, but this chapter adopts a shorter argument by\textit{J. Schultens} [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 135, No. 3, 539--544 (2003; Zbl 1054.57011)]. The bibliography was reduced to include only references cited in the book. Also, the knot table in the appendix was reduced.
