 s/3/">Infinitely many Lagrangian fillings</a>\nby Honghao Gao (Michigan St
 ate University) as part of Clusters and braids seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nA fi
 lling is an oriented surface bounding a link. Classifications of Legendria
 n knots and their exact Lagrangian fillings are central questions in low-d
 imensional contact and symplectic topology. Lagrangian fillings can be con
 structed via local moves in finite steps. In this talk\, I will show that 
 most Legendrian torus links have infinitely many exact Lagrangian fillings
 . These fillings are constructed using Legendrian loops\, and proven to be
  distinct using the microlocal theory of sheaves and the theory of cluster
  algebras. This is a joint work with Roger Casals.\n

 laced types</a>\nby Etienne Ménard (Institut Fourier) as part of Clusters
  and braids seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nDuring my PhD thesis\, I worked on an a
 lgorithm to compute explicit seeds\nfor cluster structure on a categorific
 ation of the coordinate ring of an\nopen Richardson variety. I will first 
 explain the motivations of this\nquestion\, its context\, the categorifica
 tion used then describe the\nalgorithm\, focusing on its formulation in te
 rms of combinatorics of\nwords representing elements of a Weyl group (amon
 g the two formulations\npossible). I will then end with some results linke
 d to combinatorics of\nWeyl groups in type A\,D or E and open questions as
 sociated.\n

 s/7/">Knot theory and Cluster algebras</a>\nby Ralf Schiffler (University 
 of Connecticut) as part of Clusters and braids seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nTo e
 very knot diagram (or link diagram) $K$\, we associate a quiver with poten
 tial $(Q\,W)$ and\, hence\, a cluster algebra $A(Q\,W)$ as well as a Jacob
 ian algebra $B=\\operatorname{Jac}(Q\,W)$. The vertices of the quiver are 
 in bijection with the segments of the knot diagram.\n\nFor every segment $
 i$ of $K$\, we construct an indecomposable $B$-module $T(i)$ and let $T$ b
 e the direct sum of these indecomposables. Each module $T(i)$ corresponds 
 to an element $F(i)$ in the cluster algebra $A(Q\,W)$\, the so-called F-po
 lynomial of the module. $F(i)$ is a polynomial in several variables $y_1\,
 \\dots\, y_n$ with positive integer coefficients.\n\nWe prove that\, for e
 ach segment $i$ of $K$\, the Alexander polynomial of $K$ is equal to a spe
 cific specialization of $F(i)$. Furthermore this specialization does not d
 epend on $i$. For an alternating knot\, this specialization is simply $y_j
 = -t$ if $j$ is even\; $y_j=-t^{-1}$ if $j$ is odd\, where we label the se
 gments of the knot in order of appearance along the knot.\n

 s/8/">DGA Representations\, Ruling Polynomials\, and the Colored HOMFLY-PT
  Polynomial</a>\nby Caitlin Leverson (Bard College) as part of Clusters an
 d braids seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nGiven a Legendrian knot $\\Lambda$ in $\\m
 athbb{R}^3$ with the standard contact structure\, Rutherford showed that t
 he ruling polynomial of $\\Lambda$ appears as a specialization of the HOMF
 LY-PT polynomial of its topological knot type. We will extend the definiti
 on of the ruling polynomial to define the colored ruling polynomial of a L
 egendrian knot\, analogously to how the definition of the colored HOMFLY-P
 T polynomial is an extension of the HOMFLY-PT polynomial\, and show that t
 he colored ruling polynomial of $\\Lambda$ also appears as a specializatio
 n of the colored HOMFLY-PT polynomial of $\\Lambda$’s topological knot t
 ype. We will also discuss the relationship between counts of certain repre
 sentations of the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra of $\\Lambda$ to the colored
  ruling polynomial of $\\Lambda$ and thus the colored HOMFLY-PT polynomial
  of $\\Lambda$’s topological knot type. Little knowledge of these topics
  will be assumed. This is joint work with Dan Rutherford.\n

 and braids seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe provide a new family of Legendrian li
 nks with infinitely many distinct exact orientable Lagrangian fillings up 
 to Hamiltonian isotopy. This family of links includes the first examples o
 f Legendrian links with infinitely many distinct planar exact Lagrangian f
 illings\, which can be viewed as the smallest Legendrian links currently k
 nown to have infinitely many distinct exact Lagrangian fillings. As an app
 lication we find new examples of infinitely many exact Lagrangian spheres 
 and tori in 4-dimensional Milnor fibers of isolated hypersurface singulari
 ties with positive modality.\n

 jera Chávez (Instituto de Matemáticas UNAM) as part of Clusters and brai
 ds seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe purpose of this talk is to elaborate on a ge
 ometric relationship between cluster algebras and cluster complexes. In va
 gue words this relationship is the following: cluster algebras of finite c
 luster type with universal coefficients may be obtained via a torus action
  on a Hilbert scheme. In particular\, we will discuss the deformation theo
 ry of the Stanley-Reisner ring associated to a finite cluster complex and 
 present some applications related to the Gröbner theory of the ideal of r
 elations among cluster and frozen variables of a cluster algebra of finite
  cluster type. This is based on a joint project with Nathan Ilten and Hipo
 lito Treffinger.\n

 d varieties are affine varieties indexed by positive\nbraids that have bee
 n studied much in this seminar series.  They have\nconnections to knot hom
 ology\, to Legendrian link geometry\, to the\ngeometry of flag varieties\,
  and also to cluster algebras.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss a cluster 
 structure on braid varieties\nbased on generalized minors\, Deodhar geomet
 ry\, and the Louise property\nfor quivers.  This is joint work with Pavel 
 Galashin\, Melissa\nSherman-Bennett\, and David Speyer.\n

 s/14/">Describing Leclerc’s Frobenius categories as categories of Gorens
 tein projective modules</a>\nby Martin Kalck (University of Freiburg) as p
 art of Clusters and braids seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn 2016\, Leclerc introd
 uced a new class of Frobenius categories in order to obtain (partly conjec
 tural) cluster algebra structures on coordinate rings of open Richardson v
 arieties. \n\nVery recently\, this approach has been completed and general
 ized in work of Casals\, Gorsky\, Gorsky\, Le\, Shen & Simental. More prec
 isely\, for open Richardson varieties their construction corresponds to th
 e seed introduced by Ménard. An alternative approach to obtain cluster st
 ructures for open Richardson varieties has been announced by Galashin\, La
 m\, Sherman-Bennett & Speyer.\n\nWe explain that Leclerc's categories are 
 equivalent to categories of Gorenstein projective modules (aka maximal Coh
 en-Macaulay modules) over an Iwanaga-Gorenstein ring of virtual dimension 
 at most two. This is an analogue of Buan\, Iyama\, Reiten & Scott’s desc
 ription of Geiss\, Leclerc & Schröer’s categorification for Schuber cel
 ls in terms of Gorenstein projective modules over quotients of preprojecti
 ve algebras. \n\nOur talk will be based on https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.0478
 5.pdf.\n
