Description

I will first briefly remind about the general methods of computing topological invariants based on the relation between knot theory, TQFT's, CFT's and integrable models. Then I will review some interesting results applied to the family of torus knots. In the final part I will report some recent attempts to generalize those results beyond the torus family.
