Hopf algebras, quantization and low-dimensional topology
March 29 - April 2, 2004, at the CIRM
Introduction
Works by Drinfeld, Kontsevich, Turaev ... at the beginning of the nineties
are at the origin of unexpected but extremely fruitful interactions between
Hopf algebras, quantum groups and low-dimensional topology. During this
meeting, we will study certain aspects of the spectacular results of these
interactions, in particular, an intrinsic approach to quantum groups,
Kazhdan-Etingof's biquantization theory and integrality properties in
the theory of invariants in low-dimensional topology. In several talks,
we will also touch on the new combinatorial theory of Hopf algebras,
which has its origin in the works by Connes-Kreimer on renormalization.
The aim of the meeting is thus to present an up-to-date view of these
research areas with special emphasis on their connections.
The following speakers have confirmed their participation:
