Title: Projective Knot theory and an application of Dynikov’s Algorithm


Abstract: The basics of projective knot theory are laid out. The class of a link and its relation to spanning surfaces is discussed. Results on $S$-equivalence and $S^*$-equivalence of spanning surfaces are presented, and an algorithm for affine knot detection is outlined.
