Pure Math Graduate Student Seminar: Reeshad Arian, NC State, RT invariance of 3 manifolds
October 24, 2022 | 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT
Ed Witten’s papers in 1988 drew out the connection between Jones Polynomials of Knots and Chern-Simons theory of 3-dimensional TQFT. Following his work, Reshetikhin and Turaev formulated invariants of 3-manifolds via colored framed knots leading to new TQFTs. In this talk, I will introduce Dehn Surgery on knots, framed knots colored with representations of Hopf algebras, and the RT invariants of knots and 3-manifolds. All these results are taken from doi:10.1515/9783110435221.
