Knots, Trees, and Fields: Common Ground Between Physics and Mathematics

<p>One main theme of this thesis is a connection between mathematical physics (in particular, the three-dimensional topological quantum field theory known as Chern-Simons theory) and three-dimensional topology. This connection arises because the partition function of Chern-Simons theory provid...
