David Jordan from Edinburgh will be speaking.

The presentation title is "Skein theory in the geometric Langlands TFT."

This meeting takes place via Zoom.

The event description is as follows:

I will overview several appearances (some recently established, some conjectural) of skein theory in the so-called quantum geometric Langlands fully extended TFT. The talk will be mostly elementary, and I'll highlight an application to a conjecture of Witten concerning the finite-dimensionality of skein modules of 3-manifolds at generic values of the quantum parameter.
