Swiss Knots 2011: Knot Theory and Algebra

项目编号：dms -1105703项目负责人：Thang Le， Jozef H. przytycki本提案支持美国参加将于2011年5月在瑞士Thun湖举行的会议SwissKnots 2011: Knot Theory and Algebra。会议的目标是将专家和初级研究人员聚集在一起，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，分类和连杆同调，虚节，量子化，以及连杆和3流形的各种不变量。2011年瑞士结会议将为结理论和代数专家之间的思想交流创造一个论坛。初级数学家将有机会了解该领域的新发展，并能够展示他们自己的研究成果。参加者将来自世界各地。美国研究人员和研究生将与来自其他国家的数学家进行互动。组织者希望这次机会将带来未来的合作。关于会议的更多信息可以在网站上找到：https://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/
