Rhea Palak Bakshi - Skein Theory in the Semisimple and Non-Semisimple Setting - IPAM at UCLA
Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics (IPAM) · 51:18
The talk shows how skein modules, the main algebraic invariants of 3-manifolds in quantum topology, are computed in two settings. In the classical (semisimple) setting, connected sums such as (S¹×D²)#(S¹×D²) and (S¹×S...
