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)
“John Brown and Giuseppe Garibaldi were contemporaries not solely in the matter of time; their endeavors as liberators link their names where other likeness is absent; and the peaks of their careers were reached almost simultaneously: the Harper’s Ferry Raid occurred in 1859, the raid on Sicily in the following year. Both events, however differing in character, were equally quixotic.”
—John Cournos (1881–1956)
“Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality. It is impossible to find a hygienest who does not debase his theory of the healthful with a theory of the virtuous.... The true aim of medicine is not to make men virtuous; it is to safeguard and rescue them from the consequences of their vices.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
