Speaker:
Paul Pravakar
Topic:
"Khovanov’s homology for tangles and cobordisms" (cont'd.)
Abstract:
I shall try to wrap up the discussion on Bar Natan's paper. I shall introduce planar algebra and show how theory of tangle simplify the Khovanov Homology and extend it to 4 dimensional cobordism. Lastly I shall do a concrete computation of Khovanov Homology namely figure 8 knot and use "delooping" to simplify it.
