Lie Algebras and the Four Color Theorem

q-alg 2008-02-03 v1 Quantum Algebra

Abstract

We present a ``reasonable'' statement about Lie algebras that is equivalent to the Four Color Theorem. The notions appearing in the statement also appear in the theory of finite-type invariants of knots (Vassiliev invariants) and 3-manifolds.
