Topological Aspects of Spin and Statistics in Nonlinear Sigma Models
John Baez, Micheal Ody, William Richter
We study the purely topological restrictions on allowed spin and statistics of topological solitons in nonlinear sigma models. Taking as space the connected -manifold , and c…

Link Invariants of Finite Type and Perturbation Theory
John C. Baez
The Vassiliev-Gusarov link invariants of finite type are known to be closely related to perturbation theory for Chern-Simons theory. In order to clarify the perturbative nature of…

Quantum Gravity and the Algebra of Tangles
John C. Baez
In Rovelli and Smolin's loop representation of nonperturbative quantum gravity in 4 dimensions, there is a space of solutions to the Hamiltonian constraint having as a basis isotop…
