Kaj Börjeson: Knots and the Jones Polynomial
Time: Fri 2012-10-12 13.15 - 14.15
Location: room 306, house 6, Dept. of Math., SU.
In this talk we introduce knots and links, both by a topological definition and a combinatorial one. We also consider the problem of how to distinguish knots and in particular we define the Jones polynomial. We compute examples and indicate how to prove that it is an invariant.
