Title: Skein algebras and quantized Coulomb branches

Abstract: In this talk, we explain how to attach a quantized Coulomb branch in the sense of Braverman-Finkelberg-Nakajima to a compact oriented surface of genus at most one, and compare it to the Kauffman bracket Skein algebra in some special cases. This is based on a joint work with Dylan Allegretti.
