Student Geometry/Topology
Chen Zhang from Michigan State University will be speaking.
The title is "An introduction to Khovanov homology."
This is a virtual meeting.
Contact Danika Van Niel and Joseph Melby (vannield@msu.edu) for more information.
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. more information...
