Algebra Seminar: Tubbenhauer -- Handlebodies, Artin-Tits and HOMFLYPT

Daniel Tubbenhauer (University of Zurich) 

Friday 15 March, 12-1pm, Place: Carslaw 375 

Title: Handlebodies, Artin-Tits and HOMFLYPT 

Abstract: What do handlebodies and Artin-Tits groups have in common? This talk is my
attempt to answer this question: I summarize what I know about the connection between
handlebodies, Artin-Tits (braid) groups and Soergel bimodules.  Joint work in progress
with David Rose.
