Synopsis

This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Algebraic and Combinatorial Structures in Knot Theory and the AMS Special Session on Spatial Graphs, both held from October 24-25, 2015, at California State University, Fullerton, CA.

Included in this volume are articles that draw on techniques from geometry and algebra to address topological problems about knot theory and spatial graph theory, and their combinatorial generalizations to equivalence classes of diagrams that are preserved under a set of Reidemeister-type moves.

The interconnections of these areas and their connections within the broader field of topology are illustrated by articles about knots and links in spatial graphs and symmetries of spatial graphs in $S^3$ and other 3-manifolds.
