If you have a question about this talk, please contact Ivan Smith. The colored Jones and HOMFLY polynomials are invariants of knots in the 3-sphere that are defined via the representation theory of quantum sl(N). I will start by explaining how these invariants generalize to the case of tangles, i.e. knot fragments in the 3-ball. For the case of rational tangles, I will introduce a picture-way of computing a categorified version of colored HOMFLY polynomials, thereby proving a tangle-analogue of a conjecture of Gukov and Stosic. Based on joint work with Mihajlo Cekic and Jake Rasmussen. This talk is part of the Differential Geometry and Topology Seminar series. This talk is included in these lists:
