AMS Special Session on Knots, Skein Modules, and Categorification

• Thursday January 4, 2024, 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.
  AMS Special Session on Knots, Skein Modules, and Categorification, I
  Most recent advances in knot theory and quantum topology come from generalizing link polynomials. One generalization is categorification, a relatively new and revolutionary approach, that includes the Khovanov and Knot-Floer homology theories. Skein modules generalize the skein theory of link polynomials in the 3-sphere to arbitrary 3-manifolds. Our session aims to connect specialists in these two fields, two topics that have deep relations with many fields of mathematics and quantum physics.
  Room 010, The Moscone Center
