DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://stable.researchseminars.org/talk/SLLSQ
 TPohang/1/">Introduction to Topological Quantum Field Theories</a>\nby Vla
 dimir Turaev (Indiana University) as part of Learning Seminar on Quantum T
 opology\n\n\nAbstract\nThe lecture will be an introduction to quantum topo
 logy for beginners (including undergraduates). I will start by a brief des
 cription of the Alexander and Jones polynomials of knots and links in the 
 $3$-dimensional sphere. Then I will introduce the concept of an $n$-dimens
 ional topological quantum field theory (TQFT) and discuss algebraic source
 s of such theories for $n=2$ and $n=3$. Preliminary knowledge of the follo
 wing notions is required: a manifold of a given dimension $n=1\,2\,3\,\\ld
 ots$ a manifold with boundary\, a homeomorphism of manifolds\, an algebra\
 , a module over an algebra\, a group\, a category\, a knot in the $3$-dime
 nsional sphere\, a link in the $3$-dimensional sphere\, a braid on $n$ str
 ings.\n\nIf you want to register only for this special lecture\, click <a

 TPohang/10/">The geometry of $q$-$6j$-symbols</a>\nby Nicolai Reshetikhin 
 (Tsinghua University) as part of Learning Seminar on Quantum Topology\n\n\
 nAbstract\n$6j$-symbols\, also known as Racah-Wigner coefficients first ap
 peared in representation theory of  $SU(2)$\, or\, as it is called in phys
 ics\, the theory of quantum angular momentum. They are given by special va
 lues of hypergeometric functions ${}_4F_3$ and have a geometric limit whic
 h relates them with the geometry of coadjoint orbits in the dual space to 
 the Lie algebra $\\mathfrak{su}(2)$.\n\nTheir $q$-analogs appear in repres
 entation theory of quantum universal enveloping algebra of $\\mathfrak{sl}
 (2)$. They are given by special values of $q$-hypergeometric functions ${}
 _4\\phi_3$ and are instrumental in topological quantum field theory\nand c
 orresponding conformal field theories. They also have a geometric limit\na
 nd are related to the geometry of $SU(2)$ conjugation orbits.\n\nIn this t
 alk I will start with the definition of $q$-$6j$ symbols\, explain how to 
 express colored Jones polynomials in terms of these objects. Then I will f
 ocus the relation of $q$-$6j$ symbols with the Clebsch-Gordan integrable s
 ystem for $\\mathfrak{su}(2)$ and will compute their semiclassical asympto
 tic. At the end I will review results of Q. Chen\, J. Murakami\, T. Yang a
 nd others on the relation between this semiclassical asymptotic and the vo
 lume conjecture.\n\nIf you want to participate\, please contact <a href =
