Coxeter Graphs and Towers of Algebras

by Vaughan F.R. Jones, Pierre de la Harpe, Frederick M. Goodman

Book Overview

A recent paper on subfactors of von Neumann factors has stimulated much research in von Neumann algebras. It was discovered soon after the appearance of this paper that certain algebras which are used there for the analysis of subfactors could also be used to define a new polynomial invariant for links. Recent efforts to understand the fundamental nature of the new link invariants has led to connections with invariant theory, statistical mechanics...
