On November 14th, Tuesday from 3-4pm in Fletcher 110, Geometry and Topology Seminar invites students and faculty to a course preview session devoted to a discussion and presentations about upcoming […]
Title: Skein Theory of Affine ADE Subfactor Planar Algebras Abstract: Subfactor planar algebras first were constructed by Vaughan Jones as a diagrammatic axiomatization of the standard invariant of a subfactor. […]
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Reginald Anderson (CMC) Title: Presentations of derived categories Abstract: A modification of the cellular resolution of the diagonal […]
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Vijay Higgins (UCLA) Title: Webs and skein algebras Abstract: The Jones polynomial of a link can be computed diagrammatically by using skein relations, which encode the representation theory of SL(2). By considering the vector space spanned by links drawn on a surface and […]
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Rhea Palak Bakshi (University of California Santa Barbara) Title: The skein module of the connected sum of two […]
The Claremont Topology Seminar, with funding from Pitzer College and the NSF, is pleased to sponsor the N+12th Southern California Topology Colloquium (SCTC). SCTC is a one-day conference primarily attended by mathematicians from the Southern California area. This year, the colloquium will be held at the Benson Auditorium at Pitzer College on Saturday, March 8th, […]
Speaker: Sam Nelson (CMC) Title: Permutation Jones Polynomials Abstract: The Jones Polynomial is an important invariant of knots with applications in physics, quantum computation and more. In this talk I […]
Speaker: Helen Wong (CMC) Title: Introduction to the colored Jones polynomial Abstract: This is a learning seminar. We will present an accessible definition of the colored Jones polynomial for knots […]
Speaker: Puttipong Pongtanapaisan (Pitzer) Title: Introduction to Quantum Invariants of 3-Manifolds Abstract: The previous speakers showed us how to distinguish knots and links using techniques involving quantum groups. I will […]
Speaker: Jim Hoste (Pitzer) Title: Enumerating 2-bridge knots Abstract: A new proof of an old theorem. This is joint work with Patrick D. Shanahan (Loyola Marymount University). _______ We especially welcome […]
