Book DetailsContemporary MathematicsCentre de Recherches Mathématiques ProceedingsVolume: 680; 2016; 177 ppMSC: Primary 17; 57; 81;
Throughout recent history, the theory of knot invariants has been a fascinating melting pot of ideas and scientific cultures, blending mathematics and physics, geometry, topology and algebra, gauge theory, and quantum gravity.
The 2013 Séminaire de Mathématiques Supérieures in Montréal presented an opportunity for the next generation of scientists to learn in one place about the various perspectives on knot homology, from the mathematical background to the most recent developments, and provided an access point to the relevant parts of theoretical physics as well.
This volume presents a cross-section of topics covered at that summer school and will be a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers wishing to learn about this rapidly growing field. -
