DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/SLLSQTPohang
 /1/">Introduction to Topological Quantum Field Theories</a>\nby Vladimir T
 uraev (Indiana University) as part of Learning Seminar on Quantum Topology
 \n\n\nAbstract\nThe lecture will be an introduction to quantum topology fo
 r beginners (including undergraduates). I will start by a brief descriptio
 n of the Alexander and Jones polynomials of knots and links in the $3$-dim
 ensional sphere. Then I will introduce the concept of an $n$-dimensional t
 opological quantum field theory (TQFT) and discuss algebraic sources of su
 ch theories for $n=2$ and $n=3$. Preliminary knowledge of the following no
 tions is required: a manifold of a given dimension $n=1\,2\,3\,\\ldots$ a 
 manifold with boundary\, a homeomorphism of manifolds\, an algebra\, a mod
 ule over an algebra\, a group\, a category\, a knot in the $3$-dimensional
  sphere\, a link in the $3$-dimensional sphere\, a braid on $n$ strings.\n

 /10/">The geometry of $q$-$6j$-symbols</a>\nby Nicolai Reshetikhin (Tsingh
 ua University) as part of Learning Seminar on Quantum Topology\n\n\nAbstra
 ct\n$6j$-symbols\, also known as Racah-Wigner coefficients first appeared 
 in representation theory of  $SU(2)$\, or\, as it is called in physics\, t
 he theory of quantum angular momentum. They are given by special values of
  hypergeometric functions ${}_4F_3$ and have a geometric limit which relat
 es them with the geometry of coadjoint orbits in the dual space to the Lie
  algebra $\\mathfrak{su}(2)$.\n\nTheir $q$-analogs appear in representatio
 n theory of quantum universal enveloping algebra of $\\mathfrak{sl}(2)$. T
 hey are given by special values of $q$-hypergeometric functions ${}_4\\phi
 _3$ and are instrumental in topological quantum field theory\nand correspo
 nding conformal field theories. They also have a geometric limit\nand are 
 related to the geometry of $SU(2)$ conjugation orbits.\n\nIn this talk I w
 ill start with the definition of $q$-$6j$ symbols\, explain how to express
  colored Jones polynomials in terms of these objects. Then I will focus th
 e relation of $q$-$6j$ symbols with the Clebsch-Gordan integrable system f
 or $\\mathfrak{su}(2)$ and will compute their semiclassical asymptotic. At
  the end I will review results of Q. Chen\, J. Murakami\, T. Yang and othe
 rs on the relation between this semiclassical asymptotic and the volume co
 njecture.\n\nIf you want to participate\, please contact <a href = "mailto
