Geometry of 3-manifolds and Complex Chern-Simons Theory
2017-02-15 16:30 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | CMSA Room G10, CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138, United States
Speaker: Masahito Yamazaki (IMPU)
Title: Geometry of 3-manifolds and Complex Chern-Simons Theory
Abstract: The geometry of 3-manifolds has been a fascinating subject in mathematics. In this talk I discuss a “quantization” of 3-manifold geometry, in the language of complex Chern-Simons theory. This Chern-Simons theory in turn is related to the physics of 3-dimensional supersymmetric field theories through the so-called 3d/3d correspondence, whose origin can be traced back to a mysterious theory on the M5-branes. Along the way I will also comment on the connection with a number of related topics, such as knot theory, hyperbolic geometry, quantum dilogarithm and cluster algebras.
