Invariants, skeins, and non-positive curvature
Student-Run Discrete Math Seminar| Speaker: | Greg Kuperberg, UC Davis |
| Location: | 2112 MSB |
| Start time: | Fri, Sep 30 2011, 12:10PM |
In this background talk, I will discuss relations among invariant tensors in quantum algebra, quantum topological invariants, skein relations, and the phenomenon of non-positive curvature for certain skein theories.
