Postdoc Seminar Series : Quantum Invariants of 3-manifolds Arising From Skein Theory
Weber 15Speaker: Rhea Palak Bakshi, Junior Fellow, Institute for Theoretical Studies at ETH Zürich (Website: https://rheapalakbakshi.com ) Abstract: The advent of knot polynomials revolutionised the field of knot theory in the 3-sphere, bringing it to the forefront of research in topology. The Jones polynomial is credited with laying the foundations of quantum topology. These polynomials are characterised by 'skein relations', which are linear relations […]
