DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/UEAPS/55/">A
  tour on quantum topology and categorification</a>\nby Pedro Vaz (Universi
 té catholique de Louvain) as part of ANTLR seminar\n\nLecture held in EFR
 Y 01.10.\n\nAbstract\nQuantum topology is a generic term used to designate
  algebraic-topological constructions that are\, in some broad sense\, clos
 e to the Jones polynomial and its variants.\nIn this talk\, I will give an
  overview of topological quantum invariants and their categorification\, f
 rom their historical origins with the Jones polynomial to modern developme
 nts. I will introduce the main concepts and present several examples\, hig
 hlighting their multidisciplinary impact within contemporary mathematics.\
