Abstract: The author reviews some recent developments in Chern-Simons theory on a hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ with complex gauge group $G$. The author focuses on the case of $G=SL(N,\mathbb{C})$ and $M$ being a knot complement: $M=S^{3}\setminus \mathcal{K}$. The main result presented in this note is the cluster partition function, a computational tool that uses cluster algebra techniques to evaluate the Chern-Simons path integral for $G=SL(N,\mathbb{C})$. He also reviews various applications and open questions regarding the cluster partition function and some of its relation with string theory.

Keywords:
