Object Dehn twist
A Dehn twist is a fundamental type of self-homeomorphism of a surface obtained by cutting along a simple closed curve, twisting one side by 360 degrees, and gluing it back, playing a central role in low-dimensional topology and the study of mapping class groups.

  • A. Conway skein triple (L₊, L₋, L₀)
    The Conway skein triple (L₊, L₋, L₀) is a standard configuration of three related link diagrams used in knot theory to express how a link invariant, such as the Conway polynomial, changes under local crossing modifications.
  • B. Dowker–Thistlethwaite notation
    Dowker–Thistlethwaite notation is a numerical encoding system used in knot theory to uniquely represent knot diagrams and facilitate their classification and study.
  • C. Teichmüller curve
    A Teichmüller curve is a complex geodesic in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces that arises from flat surface structures and has rich connections to dynamics, geometry, and number theory.
  • D. Conway sphere
    The Conway sphere is a mathematical construct in knot theory used to decompose knots and links into simpler tangles, named after mathematician John Horton Conway.
  • E. Riemann–Hurwitz formula
    The Riemann–Hurwitz formula is a fundamental result in algebraic geometry and complex analysis that relates the genera of two Riemann surfaces connected by a branched covering map, accounting for the ramification data.
  • F. None of above. chosen
