Geometry of 3-manifolds and Complex Chern-Simons Theory
CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesSpeaker: 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 […]
