Abstract:

This sequence of talks aims to introduce the intricate world of knots and links through their topological and algebraic representations. We will begin with the basic language of knot diagrams and tensor products of vector spaces, progressing towards topological invariants such as the Alexander and Jones polynomials, explored through their various presentations (topological, representation theoretic, skein relations).

  • TQFT and Knot seminar Introduction to Chern-Simons theory (I)

    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 ...
