In this book, the author announces the class of problems called “entropy of knots” and gives an overview of modern physical applications of existing topological invariants.He constructs statistical models on knot diagrams and braids using the representations of Jones-Kauffman and Alexander invariants and puts forward the question of limit distribution of these invariants for randomly generated knots. The relation of powers of corresponding algebraic invariants to the Lyapunov exponents of the products of noncommutative matrices is described. Also the problem of conditional joint limit...
