Knots, Links, Spatial Graphs, and Algebraic Invariants

From an October 2015 conference in Fullerton, California, 12 papers present recent results first in knot theoretic structure and then in spatial graph theory. Their topics include the first coefficient of Homflypt and Kauffman polynomials: Vertigan proof of polynomial complexity using dynamic programming, ribbonlength of folded ribbon unknots in the plane, checkerboard framings and states of virtual link diagrams, a chord graph constructed from a ribbon surface-link, and partially multiplicative biquandles and handlebody-knots.
