Title: Spin models and covers
| Speaker: | Chris Godsil |
| Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
| Location: | MC 6486 |
Abstract:
I will not attempt to define spin models in an abstract - let's just say they are a tool that can be used to create useful invariants of knots and links. I will give a short introduction, and then discuss a connection to covers of complete bipartite graphs and mutually unbiased bases.
