Topological applications of twisted Drinfeld doubles

Speaker: 
Roland van der Veen
Affiliation: 
University of Groningen
Date: 
Tue, 13/05/2025 - 15:00 - 16:00
Location: 
MPIM Lecture Hall [2]
Parent event: 
Conference on "Quantum Topology" [3]

A handout for this talk will be available at https://www.rolandvdv.nl/Talks/Stavros25/ [4].
In joint work with Daniel Lopez Neumann we showed how the quantum invariants arising from the twisted double yield a lower bound for the knot genus. We will give an elementary sketch of the construction and discuss further applications.
