Skein theory of planar algebras and some applications

Modern subfactor theory was initiated by Jones by proving the significant result, Jones' index theorem. Later, Jones gave the topological axiomatization of the standard invariant of subfactors. This topological perspective suggests us to study subfactors via their skein theory, which is analogo...
