Recent developments in Quantum Topology -- Cancelled --

Posted in

We will review the basics of quantum topology such as the colored Jones polynomial of a knot, its standard conjectures relating to asymptotics, arithmeticity and modularity, as well as the recent quantum hyperbolic invariants of Kashaev et al, their state-integrals and their structural properties. The course is aimed to be accessible by graduate students and young researchers.

Given a Lie algebroid structure on a vector bundle $A$ and a leaf $L$ of this Lie algebroid, a natural question is whether all nearby Lie algebroid structures on A have a leaf which is diffeomorphic to $L$. This question was answered by M. Crainic and R. Fernandes.

The classical isoperimetric inequality and more generally the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality are among the most fundamental results in convex geometry; in fact, their significance extends far beyond convexity. In our talk, a conjectural broad generalization of these inequalities will be formulated in the language of Alesker's algebraic theory of valuations on convex bodies.

We prove that Schinzel's Hypothesis (H) holds for 100% of polynomials of any fixed degree. I will discuss the proof of this result and also explain how to deduce from this the Hasse principle for certain surfaces.
