The Building next door - the full story

Ever wondered what is happening on the building site next door? What does it take to construct such a large structure? And what are the plans for Humanities' Schwarzman Centre when it is finished?

The Humanities team would like to invite us all to a talk by William Whyte, Professor of Social and Architectural History in the History Faculty and academic lead for the Schwarzman Centre project. William will explain what is going on and why, and will explain what the Division are hoping to achieve with the new Humanities building.

Knot Homologies from Landau Ginsburg Models

Miroslav Rapcak
(Cern)
Abstract

In her recent work, Mina Aganagic proposed novel perspectives on computing knot homologies associated with any simple Lie algebra. One of her proposals relies on counting intersection points between Lagrangians in Landau-Ginsburg models on symmetric powers of Riemann surfaces. In my talk, I am going to present a concrete algebraic algorithm for finding such intersection points, turning the proposal into an actual calculational tool. I am going to illustrate the construction on the example of the sl_2 invariant for the Hopf link. I am also going to comment on the extension of the story to homological invariants associated to gl(m|n) super Lie algebras, solving this long-standing problem. The talk is based on our work in progress with Mina Aganagic and Elise LePage.
