Knots, BPS states, and algebraic curves
In this talk I will describe a relation between BPS states connected to a specific M-branes configuration and a new class of algebraic curves called extremal A-polynomials of a knot. The talk will also serve as an introduction for the next one which will be focused on quantum BPS invariants and quantum extremal A-polynomials.
