DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/CGP-MP/5/">T
 he Alexander polynomial as a universal invariant</a>\nby Rinat Kashaev (Un
 iversité de Genève) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Seminar\n\n\
 nAbstract\nI will explain how the reciprocal of the Alexander polynomial o
 f a knot can be viewed as a universal (quantum) invariant associated to th
 e Hopf algebra of regular functions on the group of affine linear transfor
 mations of the complex plane. This provides a conceptual interpretation fo
 r the Melvin--Morton--Rozansky conjecture proven by Bar-Nathan and Garoufa
 lidis\, and Garoufalidis and Le about the relation of the colored Jones po
 lynomials to the reciprocal of the Alexander polynomial in a large color l
 imit.\n
