DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/TQFT/10/">Ga
 lois symmetries of knot spaces</a>\nby Pedro Boavida de Brito (Instituto S
 uperior Técnico and CAMGSD) as part of Topological Quantum Field Theory C
 lub (IST\, Lisbon)\n\n\nAbstract\nI’ll describe how the absolute Galois 
 group of the rationals acts on a space which is closely related to the spa
 ce of all knots. The path components of this space form a finitely generat
 ed abelian group which is\, conjecturally\, a universal receptacle for int
 egral finite-type knot invariants. The added Galois symmetry allows us to 
 extract new information about its homotopy and homology beyond characteris
 tic zero. I will then discuss some work in progress concerning higher-dime
 nsional variants.\n\nThis is joint work with Geoffroy Horel.\n
