Skein algebra of a punctured surface (Helen Wong, CMC)
The Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a surface is at once related to quantum topology and to hyperbolic geometry. In this talk, we consider a generalization of the skein algebra […]

The original Bost-Connes system was constructed in 1990 and is a QSM system with deep connections to the field of rationals. In particular, its partition function is the Riemann-zeta function […]

Quiver structures are naturally associated to subsets of the endomorphism sets of quandles and other knot-coloring structures, providing a natural form of categorification of homset invariants and their enhancements. In […]
