TQFT and Knot seminar

Time：September 23 (Fri)，2022；10:00-11:00am

Venue：Jinchunyuan West Building Room 3

Organizer： Hao Wang (Tsinghua)

Speaker：Hao Wang

Title:

Introduction to topological quantum field theory.

Description:

The knot theory is an interesting and active research area in mathematics, which has a deep relation with the topological quantum field theories (TQFT). We will discuss topological quantum field theory from both physics and mathematical perspectives and specifically, introduce one of the most important kinds of TQFT, the Chern-Simons theory that is deeply related to the knot invariant which was discovered by Edward Witten in the famous paper “Quantum Field Theory and Jones Polynomial” published.
