地点:Jinchunyuan West Building Room 3

组织者: Hao Wang, Xiaoyue Sun,Yuanyuan Fang

主讲人:Hao Wang (YMSC, Tsinghua University)

Abstract: 

At the first discussion, we have introduced the general framework of TQFT. This time we will discuss the properties of Chern-Simons theory in detail, which is a very important kind of Schwarz TQFT that related to many branches of physics and mathematics, e.g. knot theory, string theory, conformal field theory, quantum gravity and so on. And we will continue to discuss the some basics on knot theory and the relation between the knot invariants and Chern-Simons theory.

    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...

    AbstractIn this talk we will review Witten’s work on understanding knot invariants based on Chern-Simons theory. We will first introduce the physics observables in Chern-Simons theory which correspond to knot invariants and talk about why they are topological invariants. After a short introduction about the quantization of Chern-Simons theory, we will review how to understand skein relations a...
