Departments of Mathematics - University of Haifa - The Technion Haifa Area Topology and Geometry Seminar Speaker: Prof. Ruth Lawrence The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Topic: The quantum topology of the Poincare homology sphere Date: Wednesday, May 21, 2003 Place: Room 24D of the Jacobs Building, University of Haifa Time: 14:00 Abstract: We will discuss some of the many general results on quantum invariants of 3-manifolds which have been obtained in the last few years, in the context of the Poincare homology sphere, the simplest non-trivial integer homology 3-sphere. Note special day, time and place! The Jacobs Building is the Computer Science & Management Building, next to the Science and Education Building, across the street from the shops of the Main Building. Room 24D is on the 5th floor. --------------------------------------------------------- TechnionMathNet2 TECHMATH2 Editor:Michael Cwikel Announcement from: David Blanc
