Recent developments in Quantum Topology -- Cancelled --

Posted in

Talk

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.

An Anosov flow is a globally hyperbolic dynamical system which can be studied in dimension 3 using some transverse surfaces called Birkhoff section. There exist three families of Birkhoff sections which can not co-exist, and they help understand the nature of the flow. I will explain a relation between the existence of these Birkhoff sections with the topology of the orbit space of the flow.
