Knots, quivers, and quantum field theory
The knots-quivers correspondence uses the language of quantum field theory to connect two very different branches of mathematics: low-dimensional topology and quiver representation theory. The fist part of my talk will focus on an intuitive way of understanding what this correspondence is. Then I will present its generalisations and applications which make the whole story even more interesting.
