2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/51083I present a summary of the recent progress made in field and string theory which has led to a reformulation of quantum-group polynomial invariants for knots and links into new polynomial invariants whose coefficients can be described in topological terms. The approach opens a new point of view in the theory of knot and link invariants.5 pages, Proceedings of the International Europhysics Conference on High Energy Physics, Budapest, 12-18 July 2001High Energy Physics - Theorytext
