SUMMARY:Math Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:
 Student Geometry/Topology\n
 \n
 Chen Zhang from Michigan 
 State University will be speaking.\n
 \n
 The 
 title is "An introduction to Khovanov homology."\n
 \n
 This 
 is a virtual meeting.\n

 Contact 
 Danika Van Niel and Joseph Melby (vannield@msu.edu) 
 for more information.\n
 \n
 This is 
 an introduction talk for Khovanov homology. Since 
 Khovanov homology categorifies Jones polynomial, 
 I will start with a brief discussion 
 about Jones polynomial and the enhanced states 
 for the bracket state sum. After that I will 
 show how to construct Khonvanov homology from 
 the enhanced states and its invariance under 
 Reidemeister moves, which makes it a well 
 defined link invariant.\n\n
