Editors Gukov, Khovanov, and Walcher present readers with a collection of scholarly articles and academic papers investigating the theory of knot invariants from the perspectives of mathematics, physics, geometry, topology, algebra, guage theory, and quantum gravity. The five selections that make up the main body of the text are devoted to the Chern-Simons theory and knot invariants, tensor product algebras and Grassmannians and Khovanov homology, lectures on know homology, knot Floer homology, and knot homology and quantum curves. Sergei Gukov is a faculty member of Caltech and the University of California, Santa Barbara. Mikhail Khovanov is a faculty member of Columbia University in New York. Johannes Walcher is a faculty member of the University of Heidelberg, Germany. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
