Quiver-Like Varieties for the Geometric Categorification of Super-Algebras Gl(M|N) and the Associated Link Invariants - March 28, 2025

This lecture by Lev Rozansky explores "Quiver-Like Varieties for the Geometric Categorification of Super-Algebras Gl(M|N) and the Associated Link Invariants." Discover how string theory concepts can reinterpret Hamiltonian reduction in Nakajima quiver varieties, leading to an expanded class of varieties potentially connected to super-algebras gl(m|n). The 59-minute presentation details ongoing collaborative research with A. Oblomkov and Li Han, offering insights into geometric categorification approaches and their applications to link invariants. Presented at the Simons Foundation on March 28, 2025, this talk bridges advanced concepts in algebraic geometry, representation theory, and mathematical physics.
