Speaker: Dr. Anup Poudel, Georgia Institute of Technology Title: “Mathematical knots and their applications” Abstract: A mathematical knot is a topological object that lives in a 3-dimensional space. Given two knots, one can ask if and when the two ambient spaces where the knots live are topologically the same. This amounts to knowing if there is a sequence of diagrammatic moves that allows one to go from one knot to the other. In the 1980s, several other tools were developed that helped one distinguish two knots using methods coming from algebra and quantum physics. In this talk, we will dis…
