      Cumrun Vafa: String Theory and Homological Invariants for 3-Manifolds

      28th April, 2017
      Watch LaterRemove Cinema Mode

      In this talk I review the recent progress made in defining homological invariants for 3-manifold using string theory constructions. This generalizes the constructions of homological invariants for knots using M5-branes, to the case of 3-manifolds.

      This video is part of Harvard University‘s conference JDG 2017.
