Functorial knot theory : categories of tangles, coherence, categorical deformations, and topological invariants /
Almost since the advent of skein-theoretic invariants of knots and links (the Jones, HOMFLY, and Kauffman polynomials), the important role of categories of tangles in the connection between low-dimensional topology and quantum-group theory has been recognized. The rich categorical structures natural...
