Swiss Knots 2011: Knot Theory and Algebra

摘要奖：DMS-1105703主要研究者： Thang Le，Jozef H. Przytycki该提案支持美国参加将于2011年5月在瑞士图恩湖举行的“2011年瑞士结：结理论和代数”会议。会议的目标是汇集专家和初级研究人员讨论结理论及其与代数的相互作用的最新进展和未来发展的前景。 具体的主题包括平面代数，分类和链接的同源性，虚结，量化，和各种不变量的链接和3-流形。会议瑞士结2011将创建一个论坛之间的专家在纽结理论和代数的思想交流。初级数学家将有机会了解该领域的新发展，并将能够提出自己的研究成果。参与者将来自世界各地。美国研究人员和研究生将与其他国家的数学家进行互动。企业家们希望这一机会将产生未来的合作。更多关于会议的信息可以在网站上找到http：www.math.uzh.ch/swissknots2011/

AbstractAward: DMS-1105703Principal Investigator: Thang Le, Jozef H. PrzytyckiThis proposal supports US participation at the conference SwissKnots 2011: Knot Theory and Algebra, to be held in Lake Thun,Switzerland in May 2011. The goal of the conference is to bringtogether experts and junior researchers to discuss recentadvances and perspectives for future developments in Knot Theoryand its interaction with Algebra. Specific topics include planaralgebras, categorification and link homology, virtual knots,quantization, and various invariants of links and 3-manifolds.The conference Swiss Knots 2011 will create a forum for theexchange of ideas between the experts in knot theory and algebra.Junior mathematicians will have a chance to learn about newdevelopments in the fields and will be able to present their ownresearch accomplishments. The participants will come from allover the world. The US researchers and graduate students willinteract with mathematicians from other countries. Organizershope this opportunity will yield future collaborations. Moreinformation about the conference can be found at the websitehttp://www.math.uzh.ch/swissknots2011/
