Abstract.

The main problem of knot theory is to tell the knot type of a given knot and especially if a given knot is equivalent to a circle. One idea inspired by physics is to define a knot energy which increases with the "complexity" of the knot. I will talk about one such energy called the möbius energy as well as its corresponding heat equation.
