Quantum description of knotted and linked vortices in superfluid helium
by
Robert Owczarek
University of New Mexico

Knotted and linked vortices in superfluid helium are an experimental fact. Even before it has been known that they exist I proposed to include them in the theory of the phase transition in superfluid helium. Some considerations on quantum theory of vortices in superfluid helium will be presented, possible relationship with recent developments in knot theory will be stressed.
