Knot invariants and the Jones Polynomial

Friday 02 October 2009 at 10.00 p.m.

Room 1.10 Science Building , NUIM North Campus

Abstract:

I will first speak about reidemeister moves, tricolourability, Dowker notation, tangles and the Conways notation. This will eventually lead to a derivation of  the Jones polynomial via the Kauffman bracket. Examples calculations of the Jones polynomial will also be given.
 

All are welcome. Tea/coffee and biscuits to follow. For directions to the Dept. please check http://www.thphys.nuim.ie/map.php
