Knots, links and Physics

In our talk we discuss the relation between Physics and Topology, especially knot theory. We start from the first topological work of Leibnitz "Geometrica Dedicatica" and go through with the recent applications of the knot theory to condensed matter including classifications of linked defects in liquid crystals and superfluid liquids.
