Conference on Topology and Geometry of Knots

2009年3月20-21日，俄克拉何马州立大学将召开一个关于结点拓扑和几何的会议。12位主讲人，包括4位资深研究人员，将分别就彩色琼斯多项式、闭合花同调、结花同调、Heegaard花同调、Khovanov同调以及拓扑量子场论在低维拓扑中的应用进行演讲。会议的主要目标是探索数学和物理中各种几何和拓扑结构之间的深层联系。参与者将接触到来自不同调查领域的广泛方法和结果。会议还将为早期职业研究人员提供与资深数学家互动的机会。

A Conference on Topology and Geometry of Knots will be held at Oklahoma State University on March 20-21, 2009. Twelve speakers, including four established researchers, will give presentations related to colored Jones polynomial, sutured Floer homology, knot Floer homology, Heegaard Floer homology, and Khovanov homology and applications of topological quantum field theory to low dimensional topology.The main goal of the conference is to explore deep connections among various geometric and topological constructions from mathematics and physics. The participants will be exposed to a wide range of methods and results from different fields of investigation. The conference also will provide early career researchers the opportunity to interact with senior mathematicians.
