Jones theory I (Jones-Theorie I)
Winter semester 1997/98
Time: Friday, 2:00 pm
Room: 251
Planning session: Friday, November 8, 1997, 2:00 pm, Room 251
Contents: The seminar deals with Jones' approach to the
so-called Jones polynomial, an invariant of knots discovered by him,
which in contrast to the older Alexander polynomial can distinguish
between a knot and its mirror image. Jones' approach to this invariant
will lead us to extensions of algebras, Dynkin diagrams and Hecke
algebras. The seminar is based on the book:
F. Goodman/P. de la Harpe/V. Jones:
Coxeter graphs and towers of algebras,
MSRI Publications 14, Springer, Berlin 1989
Apart from a good knowledge about linear algebra, no prerequisites are required.
