| May 24, 2012 at 17:52 | comment | added | Arnab | Yes, 'celebration' has a different meaning in mathematics, I suppose. Thanks very much for sketching the path to the connection. I read up a bit on Temperley-Lieb and it is slowly emerging for me. Daniel, thanks a lot for pointing out the invariance under Markkov moves. No surprise, but cannot be overstated that abstract math often becomes alive while representing physical systems. | |

| May 23, 2012 at 21:49 | comment | added | Arnab | Yemon, I agree with you. In fact, I probably used it a bit loosely here. I know decently about Hilbert Spaces and Von Neumann Algebras; just started learning braids. Let me amend my words - instead of 'plain english', let me ask - what are the concepts I need to learn to understand this connection? | |
| May 23, 2012 at 21:10 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | I am never sure how much mathematics can be explained "in plain English" without resorting to, well, lying. What exactly do you know about (i) braids (ii) Hilbert space (iii) von Neumann algebras? | |
