Knot Theory from the Perspective of Field and String Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

I present a summary of the recent progress made in field and string theory which has led to a reformulation of quantum-group polynomial invariants for knots and links into new polynomial invariants whose coefficients can be described in topological terms. The approach opens a new point of view in the theory of knot and link invariants.
