The General O(n) Quartic Matrix Model and its application to Counting Tangles and Links
Paul Zinn-Justin 1 Communications in Mathematical Physics 238 (2003) 287-304 The counting of alternating tangles in terms of their crossing number, number of external legs and connected components is presented here in a unified framework using quantum field-theoretic methods applied to a matrix model of colored links. The overcounting related to topological equivalence of diagrams is removed […]
