Braids, 3-Manifolds, Elementary Particles: Number Theory and Symmetry in Particle Physics

In this paper, we will describe a topological model for elementary particles based on 3-manifolds. Here, we will use Thurston&#8217;s geometrization theorem to get a simple picture: fermions as hyperbolic knot complements (a complement <inline-formula> <math display="inline"&g...
