Abstract:
The Temperley-Lieb category appears in a fundamental way in both the
study of subfactors and in link homology theories. Indeed, the discovery of the
importance of the Temperley-Lieb category for subfactors led to the creation of
the Jones polynomial, and thence, after a long gestation, Khovanov homology.
