Abstract

There is a deep connection between the theory of invariants of knots in three dimensions and certain classes of solvable models in statistical mechanics. We study the consequences of this for a class of cellular automaton systems. Knot invariants furnish both a non-perturbative framework for the classification and analysis of such models and a primary tool with which to study the emergence of thermodynamic behavior in extended systems.
