From Knot Invariants to Schur-Weyl Duality
Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES) via YouTube
Overview
Watch a 54-minute mathematics lecture from IHES where Vladimir Fock of IRMA Strasbourg explores how HOMFLY knot invariants connect to quantum group representation theory and Hecke algebras. Learn about the interpretation of D. Gurevich's conference talks examining the relationships between knot theory and combinatorial mathematics. Delve into advanced mathematical concepts bridging topology and algebra through the lens of HOMFLY polynomial invariants and their applications in studying algebraic structures.
