S. Kim (knot theory) coauthored lectures on fundamental groups and knot groups with V. O. Manturov. The primary title page identifies the author only as S. Kim; a fuller personal identity is not inferred from those initials.[ref]

The lectures explain the van Kampen theorem and derive diagrammatic group presentations. A Dehn presentation of a knot group assigns generators to regions and a relation at each crossing, converting topological gluing into algebra. This supplies a reusable route from knot diagrams to invariants of their complements.[ref]

V. O. Manturov works on knot theory. With S. Kim (knot theory), he authored lectures connecting fundamental groups with diagrams of knots. The displayed title page verifies both sets of initials.[ref]

Their presentation of knot groups explains how loops in a knot complement can be encoded by generators and relations. Wirtinger presentations use arcs, whereas a Dehn presentation of a knot group uses regions and crossing relations. The two constructions show how a picture supplies algebraic information about an otherwise difficult three-dimensional complement.[ref]
