Seifert surface — In mathematics, a Seifert surface is a surface whose boundary is a given knot or link. Such surfaces can be used to study the properties of the associated knot or link. For example, many knot invariants are most easily calculated using a Seifert… … Wikipedia
Seifert fiber space — A Seifert fiber space is a 3 manifold together with a nice decomposition as a disjoint union of circles. In other words it is a S^1 bundle (circle bundle) over a 2 dimensional orbifold. Most small 3 manifolds are Seifert fiber spaces, and they… … Wikipedia

Signature of a knot — The signature of a knot is a topological invariant in knot theory. It may be computed from the Seifert surface.Given a knot K in the 3 sphere, it has a Seifert surface S whose boundary is K . The Seifert form of S is the pairing phi : H 1(S) imes … Wikipedia
Arf invariant (knot) — In the mathematical field of knot theory, the Arf invariant of a knot, named after Cahit Arf, is a knot invariant obtained from a quadratic form associated to a Seifert surface. If F is a Seifert surface of a knot, then the homology group H1( F … Wikipedia
