Linking Numbers in Branched Covers
Abstract: An illustrated walk through covering spaces of knots [L. P. Neuwirth, Knot Groups, (1965), Chapter III], focusing on the calculation of linking numbers
between branch curves [K. Reidemeister, Knotentheorie, (1932), page 69; cf. P. Heegaard. Doctoral Dissertation (1898) and
M. Epple, Die Entstehung der Knotentheorie, (1999), Section 77].
