Homological Invariants in Low-Dimensional Topology Workshop June 13, 2011- June 17, 2011

We are pleased to announce the Simons Workshop “Homological Invariants in Low-dimensional Topology ,” co-organized by Mikhail Khovanov and Peter Oszvath, to be held in Stony Brook from June 13 to June 17, 2011. The workshop will be conducted by the new Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University, whose mission is to develop the interaction of geometry, in the broadest sense, with theoretical physics.

“Homological invariants in low-dimensional topology” workshop at the Simons Center will be devoted to the rapidly growing subject of knot and 3-manifold homology theories. In the past few years it has become a rich and unifying area with immediate connections to mathematical physics and gauge theory, symplectic and contact topology, homological algebra and DG categories, and classical and geometric representation theory. We anticipate about twenty speakers each giving a one-hour lecture, broadly covering many of the recent developments in the subject.

Location: Simons Center for Geometry and Physics Lecture Hall, Rm 102

Organizers: Peter Ozsvath & Mikhail Khovanov
