Abstract
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts in representation theory, categorification, low-dimensional topology, mathematical physics, and combinatorics, in order to understand how categorifications of the braid groups and Hecke algebras allow one to compute and understand link invariants. Our concrete goals are to:
(a) develop and compare various algebro-geometric models for link homology, and use them to explicitly compute Khovanov-Rozansky homology of various links
(b) categorify various structures in the Hecke algebra (center, cocenter, Kazhdan-Lusztig cells, Jones-Wenzl projectors) using Soergel bimodules
(c) compare the geometric and algebraic constructions above, and understand the connection between the (co)center of the Soergel category and the Hilbert scheme of points on the plane
This workshop is fully funded by a Simons Foundation Targeted Grant to Institutes.
