Colloquium
Parent event:
MPI-Oberseminar The aim of this talk is to introduce a family of invariants of 2-knots which generalize the Dijkgraaf-Witten (DW) knot invariants. I will begin with a casual review of the DW knot invariants, making connections to Fox n-colourings in the process. The naive generalization to 2-knots yields much weaker invariants and so I will discuss a homotopy-theoretic
generalization which has the potential to yield finer results.
