Objectives

The goal of this conference and school is to introduce graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, young researchers, and interested mathematicians in Vietnam, Southeast Asia, and other countries in Asia, to basics of quantum topology and its connection to many branches of mathematics, including low-dimensional topology, representations of quantum groups, combinatorics, and in particular hyperbolic geometry. It will also introduce the audience to applications of quantum topology to various areas of mathematics.
