Chromatic and colored structures in geometry and statistical physics
INdAM Meeting
Palazzone SNS, Cortona (Italy)
May 24-30, 2015
Organizers:
Annalisa Marzuoli & Francesco Bonsante (Pavia)
Silvia Benvenuti (Camerino)
Topics include: chromatic functions on graphs, exactly solvable models, colored polynomials of knots and 3-manifolds, finite-type invariants, the volume conjecture, colored state sum models, moduli spaces, mapping class group and handlebody presentations, spin-networks in relativistic and topological quantum field theories, algorithmic aspects.
There will be mini-courses, talks, informal seminars and discussion-groups, leaving to focus-groups specific background arguments.

François Costantino (Toulouse) : “Non semisimple spin networks and TQFTs”
Martin Loebl (Prague): “Chromatic-type polynomials on graphs”
Roland van der Veen (Amsterdam): “Planar spin networks: chromatic, hyperbolic and superconformal”
