Link With Chern-Simons Theory
As first shown by Edward Witten, the Jones polynomial of a given knot γ, can be obtained by considering Chern-Simons theory on the three-sphere with gauge group SU(2), and computing the vacuum expectation value of a Wilson loop WF(γ), associated to γ, and the fundamental representation F of SU(2).

Famous quotes containing the words link with, link and/or theory:
“This is what we fear—no sight, no sound,
No touch or taste or smell, nothing to think with,
Nothing to love or link with,
The anaesthetic from which none come round.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“The lifelong process of caregiving, is the ultimate link between caregivers of all ages. You and I are not just in a phase we will outgrow. This is life—birth, death, and everything in between.... The care continuum is the cycle of life turning full circle in each of our lives. And what we learn when we spoon-feed our babies will echo in our ears as we feed our parents. The point is not to be done. The point is to be ready to do again.”
—Paula C. Lowe (20th century)
“The human species, according to the best theory I can form of it, is composed of two distinct races, the men who borrow and the men who lend.”
—Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
