Download or read book New Developments in the Theory of Knots written by Toshitake Kohno and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1990 with total page 924 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reprint volume focuses on recent developments in knot theory arising from mathematical physics, especially solvable lattice models, Yang-Baxter equation, quantum group and two dimensional conformal field theory. This volume is helpful to topologists and mathematical physicists because existing articles are scattered in journals of many different domains including Mathematics and Physics. This volume will give an excellent perspective on these new developments in Topology inspired by mathematical physics.
