DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/RTG2491/1/">
 Knot Invariants in Relation to Statistical Mechanics and Quantum Field The
 ory</a>\nby Louis Kaufmann (UI Chicago) as part of Göttingen Colloquium o
 f the Research Traininig Group "Fourier Analysis and Spectral Theory"\n\n\
 nAbstract\nThis talk will explain a construction due to the speaker (the b
 racket polynomial) that is a state summation model for the Jones polynomia
 l. This state summation is part of a larger structure that includes the Po
 tts model in statistical mechanics and it has a quantum field theoretic in
 terpretation via the functional integral approach of Edward Witten. We wil
 l explain the basics of these relationships without any prior knowledge re
 quired of these areas of mathematics and physics.\n
