Mini-course: New knot invariants via one parameter knot theory

22.05.2007-24.05.2007

Organized by: A. Beliakova

Abstract: We construct a new sort of knot polynomials by studying one parameter families of knots. Moreover, in the special case of closed braids we construct new integer valued invariants which refine finite type knot invariants.
