Euler Characteristic of Incompressible Surfaces in 3-Manifolds and Highly-Alternating Knots
<p> This thesis investigates the intersection between knot theory and the theory of 3-manifolds. 3-manifolds are well-behaved topological spaces that provide a 3-dimensional ambient space in which we study closed loops, also known as knots. Broadly speaking, the results of this thesis relate t...
