SUMMARY:How good are quantum knot invariants? - Dani Tubbenhauer (Universi
 ty of Sydney)

DESCRIPTION:Quantum invariants such as the Jones polynomial have reshaped 
 our understanding of knot theory\, revealingunexpected connections between
  algebra\, geometry\, and physics. Their development goes hand-in-handwith
  major advances in (modular) Lie theory\, including quantum groups\, Hecke
  algebras\, and their categorifiedanalogs.\nIn this visual talk\, I will r
 eflect on how the evolution of low-dimensional topology led me to seriousl
 yconsider the question in the title\, and I will even share some partial a
 nswers.
