Review

"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." Zentralblatt für Mathematik

Synopsis

In the Chern-Simons model, the applicability of topological arguments is not restricted to a region in which the semiclassical approximation is valid. In fact, no kind of approximation is necessary at all. The author discusses basic notions of knot theory, framing in field theory, non-abelian Chern-Simons theory, observables and perturbation theory
