    KNOTS IN HELLAS '98
    Proceedings of the International Conference on Knot Theory and Its Ramifications
    European Cultural Centre of Delphi, Greece, 7 – 15 August 1998

    edited by C McA Gordon (University of Texas, USA), V F R Jones (University of California, Berkeley, USA), L Kauffman (University of Illinois, Chicago, USA), S Lambropoulou (University of Göttingen, Germany), & J H Przytycki (George Washington University, USA)

    There have been exciting developments in the area of knot theory in recent years. They include Thurston's work on geometric structures on 3-manifolds (e.g. knot complements), Gordon–Luecke work on surgeries on knots, Jones' work on invariants of links in S3, and advances in the theory of invariants of 3-manifolds based on Jones- and Vassiliev-type invariants of links. Jones ideas and Thurston's idea are connected by the following path: hyperbolic structures, PSL(2,C) representations, character varieties, quantization of the coordinate ring of the variety to skein modules (i.e. Kauffman, bracket skein module), and finally quantum invariants of 3-manifolds. This proceedings volume covers all those exciting topics.
