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 this talk we will survey recent work in this area.
We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Song Yu (California Institute of Technology and Tsinghua Yau Mathematical Sciences Center) also a Pomona alum! Title: Knot invariants, Gromov-Witten invariants, and integrality conjectures Abstract: In this talk, we will take a peek at large N duality which is a deep correspondence between invariants […]
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 and its ground states evaluated on certain arithmetic objects yield generators of the maximal Abelian extension of the rationals. In this talk we describe the […]
