DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/HKUST-AG/35/
 ">Quantum A-polynomial from TQFT</a>\nby David Jordan (The University of E
 dinburgh) as part of Algebra and Geometry Seminar @ HKUST\n\nLecture held 
 in 2405.\n\nAbstract\nThe classical A-polynomial of a knot encodes the "pe
 ripheral map" from the fundamental group of the two-torus to the fundament
 al group of the knot complement.  Much work has gone into studying various
  q-deformations of the A-polynomial\, known as the quantum A-polynomial\, 
 and its relationship to the Jones polynomial.  In this talk\, I will repor
 t on joint work with Jennifer Brown\, which constructs the quantum A-polyn
 omial using skein modules with defects\, refining an earlier construction 
 of Dimofte involving cluster algebras.\n
