低次元トポロジーの最近の進展からHeegaard-Floer理論とKhovanov-Rozanskyホモロジーについて説明する.講義は英語で行う.
In the last ten years, the introduction of Heegaard Floer homology lead to important advances in low-dimensional topology.
We will introduce this theory with particular attention to its implications in knot theory.
We will also discuss other recent, homology theory-valued knot invariants of a different nature:
these arise as categorifications of earlier knot polynomials.
1.Morse homology on finite-dimensional closed manifolds
2.Alexander polynomial
3.Heegaard Floer homology, including knot Floer homology and sutured Floer homology

Knowledge of multivariable calculus, basic complex analysis and algebraic topology will be assumed.
Based on a small number of homework problems and participation.
Rather than addressing deep analytic issues, the emphasis will be on applications of the techniques.
Many examples will be included.
