Knot theory and statistical mechanics

Boğaziçi Üniversitesi, Türkiye
Distinguishing one knot from another is one of the long-standing problems in knot theory. Recent discoveries showed that connection between statistical mechanics and knot theory permits the direct formulation of knot invariants. In this talk I will introduce basic concepts in Knot Theory, then we will discuss the connection of knot invariants and statistical mechanics.
