Abstract:

The \$G\$-skein module for the 3-torus is finite dimensional by a result of Gunningham-Jordan-Safronov. For \$G = GL_N\$ and \$SL_N\$,  there is a lovely combinatorial formula for these dimensions in terms of the partitions of \$N\$ and the gcd of their parts.  Our formula arises from studying skeins on the 2-torus via the representation theory of the double affine Hecke algebra of type \$A\$ and its connection to quantum \$D\$-modules.

This is joint work with Sam Gunningham and David Jordan.

Note: This talk begins with a pre-seminar (aimed at graduate students) at 3:30–4:00. The main talk starts at 4:10.
