Is String Theory in Knots?

Abstract

It is sometimes said that there may be a unique algebraic theory independent of space-time topologies which underlies superstring and p-brane theories. In this paper, I construct some algebras using knot relations within the framework of event-symmetric string theory, and ask the question "Is string theory in knots?"
