Polynomial Convexity and a Nonlinear Triangle Inequality Abstract: A subset of the plane is called convex if the line segment joining any two of its points also lies in the set. The “convex hull” of a set is the smallest convex set containing the given one. I’ll describe how convexity can be interpreted in terms of

We'll start by describing 2-dimensional spaces, which look like donuts with any number of holes. Then we'll learn how to describe 3-dimensional spaces, by using knots to build portals in our familiar 3-dimensional space R^3.
