KONTSEVICH INTEGRAL FOR KNOTS AND VASSILIEV INVARIANTS

KONTSEVICH INTEGRAL FOR KNOTS AND VASSILIEV INVARIANTS

We review quantum field theory approach to the knot theory. Using holomorphic gauge we obtain the Kontsevich integral. It is explained how to calculate Vassiliev invariants and coefficients in Kontsevich integral in a combinatorial way which can be programmed on a computer. We discuss experimental results and temporal gauge considerations …
