Workshop around Skein Modules

October 8-9 2019 -- Orsay

 


This workshop focuses on recent advances in Skein Theory coming from Factorization Algebras Theory. The talks are intended to be introductive and interactive, with the possibility of asking many questions. The first day will explain the basis of Factorization Algebras and their relationship to Skein Modules. The final goal is to explain the recent proof of the Witten's Finetness conjecture by Jordan, Gunningham and Safronov (see arXiv:1908.05233), which will be the subject of Wednesday's talks.

Adrien Brochier (IMJ-PRG)
Juliet Cooke (University of Eidenburgh)
Sam Gunningham (Kings College London)
Thang Le (Georgia Institute of Technology)
François Petit (Université du Luxembourg)
Pavel Safronov (University of Zurich)
