Arithmetic topology

Arithmetic topology is an area of mathematics that is a combination of algebraic number theory and topology. In the 1960s Barry Mazur^[1] and Yuri Manin pointed out a series of analogies between prime ideals and knots. In the 1990s Reznikov^[2] and Kapranov^[3] began studying these analogies and coined the term arithmetic topology.
