Networks and the quantum trace map
Mathematical Physics Seminar| Speaker: | Fei Yan, Rutgers |

In this talk I will describe the construction of a quantum trace map computing a link "invariant" (with possible wall-crossing behavior) for links L in a 3-manifold M, where M is a Riemann surface C times a real line. This construction unifies the computation of familiar link invariant with the refined counting of framed BPS states for line defects in 4d N=2 theories of class S. Certain networks on C play an important role in the construction. This talk is based on joint work with Andrew Neitzke.
