Title:
An Overview of Knots and Gauge Theory
Speaker:
Abstract:
The Jones polynomial of a knot, discovered in 1983, is a very
subtle invariant that is related to a great deal of mathematics and
physics. This talk will be an overview of quantum field theories in
dimensions 2, 3, 4 and 5 that are intimately related to the Jones
polynomial of a knot and a more contemporary refinement of it that is known
as Khovanov homology.
