講義概要

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.

講義の目的

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.

講義計画

1.Morse homology on finite-dimensional closed manifolds
2.Alexander polynomial
3.Heegaard Floer homology, including knot Floer homology and sutured Floer homology
4.Jones and Homfly polynomials 5. Khovanov and Khovanov--Rozansky homology

担当教員の一言

Rather than addressing deep analytic issues, the emphasis will be on applications of the techniques.
Many examples will be included.
