Twist Spinning of Knots and Graphs
by

Coauthors: Jozef H. Przytycki

We start by defining basic spinning of a classical knot to a knotted sphere, defined by E. Artin in 1925. We describe a work of Zeeman and Epstein, 1960, and construct a twist spinning of a classical knot by Zeeman in 1965. In the more recent developments, we follow the survey paper by G. Friedman, 2004, and we will generalize this to a knotted graph which is our recent results.

This is a joint work with Jozef H. Przytycki.
