Book Synopsis The Geometry and Physics of Knots by : Michael Francis Atiyah
Book excerpt: These notes deal with an area that lies at the crossroads of mathematics and physics and rest primarily on the pioneering work of Vaughan Jones and Edward Witten, who related polynomial invariants of knots to a topological quantum field theory in 2+1 dimensions.
