    Title: Some finiteness properties for the Reidemeister-Turaev torsion of three-manifolds.
    Abstract: The Reidemeister-Turaev torsion is an invariant of a closed oriented three-dimensional manifold equipped with an Euler structure, with values in the ring of quotients of the group ring of the first homology group. We will prove that its reductions by powers of the augmentation ideal are finite-type invariants in the sense of M. Goussarov and K. Habiro. For this, we will start off by explaining how their theory of finite-type invariants can be refined to take into account Euler structures (which is a joint work with F. Deloup).

    Title: Homology 3-spheres in codimension three
    Abstract: For smooth embeddings of an integral homology 3-sphere in the 6-sphere, we define an integer invariant in terms of their Seifert surfaces. Our invariant gives a bijection between the set of smooth isotopy classes of such embeddings and the integers; and besides, gives rise to a complete invariant for homology cobordism classes of all embeddings of homology 3-spheres in the 6-sphere. As a consequence, we show that two embeddings of an oriented integral homology 3-sphere in the 6-sphere are isotopic if and only if they are homology cobordant. We also relate our invariant to the Rohlin invariant and accordingly characterise those embeddings which are compressible into the 5-sphere.

    Title: Unoriented topological quantum field theory and link homology
    Abstract: We classify 1+1-dimensional unoriented topological quantum field theories in terms of Frobenius algebras with additional structure. We use these theories to define Khovanov-type link homology for link diagrams on oriented surfaces.

    Title: Hopf diagrams and quantum invariants
    Abstract: I will describe a universal encoding of string links in terms of Hopf algebraic structures. For this, I will introduce the notion of Hopf diagrams. As a consequence, computing a quantum invariant of a 3-manifold reduces to the purely formal computation of the associated Hopf diagram, followed by the evaluation of this diagram in a given category. This is a joint work with A. Bruguieres.

    Title: Applications of braiding sequences
    Abstract: Braiding sequences describe the knot diagrams on which the Seifert algorithm gives a surface of given genus. I'll try to explain their relation and application to (depending on time, some of) the following:

    1. Any concordance class of knots contains only finitely many special alternating (conjecture: positive) ones.

    2. An upper estimate for the Thurston-Bennequin invariant and Maslov (rotation) number of Legendrian embeddings of negative (mirror images of positive) links in the standard contact space

    3. Asymptotic enumeration by crossing number of alternating knots of given genus and duals of 1-vertex triangulations of oriented surfaces

    4. A conjectural relation between the maximal hyperbolic volume of alternating knots of given genus and the sl_N weight system of Vassiliev invariants of planar 3-valent graphs

    Title: Asymptotics of the quantum invariants for surgeries on the figure 8 knot
    Abstract: In the talk I will decsribe joint work with J.E.Andersen on the quantum SU(2)-invariants of the 3-manifolds obtained by rational surgeries on the 3-sphere along the figure 8 knot. To motivate our calculations I will first give a proof a la Kashaev of the volume conjecture for the figure 8 knot. It is well-known that this involves an asymptotic description of Faddaev's quantum dilogarithm via the Euler dilogarithm. Actually we obtain a more detailed asymptotic description of the Jones polynomial of the figure 8 knot than predicted by the volume conjecture. Next we move on to the 3-manifold invariants. Among other things we shall give a short account of the classical SU(2) Chern-Simons theory on the 3-manifolds under investigation using results of R.Riley and P.Kirk and E.Klassen. At the end of the talk we demonstrate how to link this Chern-Simons theory to the asymptotics of the quantum invariants.

    Title: LMO-Aarhus extension of Kontsevich integral
    Abstract: It is known that the LMO invariant does not separate lens spaces. We discuss an extension of the Kontsevich integral for knots in rational homology 3-spheres. We will see the extension separate the lens spases.

    Title: Fox colorings, Burnside groups and Kei as obstructions to rational moves (joint with Mietek K. Dąbkowski and Makiko Ishiwata)
    Abstract: We search for invariants of links which are preserved by rational moves (e.g. n-moves, (2,2)-moves,...). We can test any link invariant for its behavior under a tangle move. For rational moves the Burnside groups of links are the most useful (they are nonabelian generalizations of Fox colorings). The more general objects to use are Kei, introduced by M.Takasaki in 1942, however the interesting Kei (we call them Burnside Kei) are not well understood yet and the best tool is via core Kei of Burnside group. In particular we introduce the family of Kei Q(m,n) and ask for which values of $m$ and $n$ these Kei are finite. The simplest undecided case is Q(5,3) Kei.

    Title: Integral lattices in TQFT
    Abstract: We will describe joint work with Pat Gilmer where we find explicit bases for naturally defined lattices in the vector spaces associated to surfaces by the SO(3) TQFT at an odd prime. These lattices form an "Integral TQFT" in an appropriate sense. Some applications relating quantum invariants to classical 3-manifold topology will be given.

    Title: Asymptotic faithfulness of the quantum SU(n) representations of the mapping class groups
    Abstract: In this talk we shall discuss our proof that the sequence of projective quantum SU(n) representations of the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface, obtained from the projective flat SU(n)-Verlinde bundles over Teichmuller space, is asymptotically faithful, that is the intersection over all levels of the kernels of these representations is trivial, whenever the genus is at least 3. For the genus 2 case, this intersection is exactly the order two subgroup, generated by the hyper-elliptic involution, in the case of even degree and n=2. Otherwise the intersection is also trivial in the genus 2 case. The proof makes use of the theory of Toeplitz operators and that they are asymptotically flat with respect to Hitchin's connection in the endomorphism bundle of the SU(n)-Verlinde bundle. - If time permits we will discuss further ramifications of our program of using asymptotics of Toeplitz operators to study the quantum SU(n) theories.

    Title: Finite type invariants of homology cylinders and string links
    Abstract: This talk deals with the recently defined Goussarov-Habiro finite type invariant theory, in the case of homology cylinders and string links in homology balls, which are in some sense "model objects" for the theory. We study, at low degree, some conjectural results for these objects, by explicitely computing their invariants, and we investigate the correspondence between the two situations.

    Title: Integrality and 2-loop polynomial of knots in integer homology spheres
    Abstract: We give a formula for 2-loop polynomial of a single clasper surgery on a knot; we relate this formula with integrality properties of 2-loop polynomials: we will show that 12 times the 2-loop polynomial of a knot is an integer rational diagram.

    題目: Wheeling and a non-commutative Weil complex for Jacobi diagrams
    アブストラクト:
    The Duflo isomorphism is an algebra isomorphism between the invariant pieces of the symmetric and universal enveloping algebras of a semi-simple Lie algebra. ``Wheeling'' refers to a diagrammatic analogue of this. Bar-Natan, Le and Thurston's elegant proof exploited a fundamental property of the Kontsevich integral knot invariant.

    We'll discuss, in some detail, a purely combinatorial proof of wheeling based on a diagrammatic version of Alekseev and Meinrenken's non-commutative Weil complex. In this picture the algebraic core of the proof is the familiar statement that a characteristic class does not depend on the connection chosen to construct it. The relationship of this proof to the Kontsevich integral presents an interesting puzzle.

    題目: On the anatomy of the Drinfeld associator
    アブストラクト:
    Looking at the explicit expression of the Drinfeld associator found by computer up to degree 12, one can make various observations and arrive at different conjectures. The talk contains no theorems, only observations, conjectures and fantasies. One of them concerns the relation between the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov associator and the rational associator computed by Bar-Natan up to degree 7.
