Using Quandles and the Alexander-Conway Polynomial to Detect Causality
Keywords:
Quandles, Causality, Alexander-Conway PolynomialAbstract
I examine whether the coloring invariant of specific Alexander quandles can be paired with the Alexander-Conway polynomial so that they can plausibly detect causality between two events in (2+1)-dimensional globally hyperbolic spacetime.
