The Link Invariants of the Chern-Simons Field Theory (De Gruyter Expositions in Mathematics): New Developments in Topological Quantum Field Theory: 10 (De Gruyter Expositions in Mathematics, 10)

The aim of the Expositions is to present new and important developments in pure and applied mathematics. Well established in the community over more than two decades, the series offers a large library of mathematical works, including several important classics.

The volumes supply thorough and detailed expositions of the methods and ideas essential to the topics in question. In addition, they convey their relationships to other parts of mathematics. The series is addressed to advanced readers interested in a thorough study of the subject.

"The book under review is an extended version of a lecture course given by the author for physicists, and inherits all merits and demerits of the source. [...] In conclusion note, that the book is worth reading especially for topologists, since it explains hidden reasons why different constructions of new knot and 3-manifold invariants give nearly identical results."
