Course Syllabus
Abstract
This students' research seminar is devoted to combinatorial problems arising in knot theory. The topics include finite order knot invariants, graph invariants, matroids, delta-matroids, integrable systems and their combinatorial solutions. Hopf algebras of various combinatorial species are studied. Seminar's participants give talks following resent research papers in the area and explaining results of their own.
Learning Objectives
- To introduce the subject area to the students, and to offer them an opportunity to prepare and give a talk, as well as to start research on their own.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Familiarity with the concept of weight systems and related topics
- Familiarity with the concept of Lie algebras, the process of constructing weight systems from Lie algebras. Weight system of sl2
- Familiarity with the concepts of Hopf algebra and delta-matroids. Understanding the connection between chord diagrams, embedded graphs and delta-matroids
Course Contents
