Seminar
Informal seminar: Perturbative Chern-Simons Theory I
Knots, Strings, Symplectic Geometry and Dualities
14 September 14:00 - 16:00
Kai Cieliebak - University of Augsburg
This is the first in a serious of informal talks on perturbative Chern-Simons theory and its relation to string topology and holomorphic curve theories. The goal of this talk is the physical derivation of the perturbative expansion of the Chern-Simons path integral at a flat connection in dimension three.
