Abstract

Chern-Simons field theory based on a compact non-abelian gauge group is studied as a theory of knots and links in three dimensions. A method to obtain the invariants for links made from braids of upto four strands is developed. This generalizes our earlier work on SU(2) Chern-Simons theory.
