Mini-workshop: Interactions between low-dimensional topology and complex algebraic geometry. Abstracts from the mini-workshop held October 22--28, 2017 (Q1731960)

Summary: Recent developments exhibit a strong connection between low-dimensional topology and complex algebraic geometry. A common theme is provided by the Alexander polynomial and its many avatars. The mini-workshop brought together at Oberwolfach groups of researchers working in mostly separate areas, but sharing common interests in a vibrant, emerging field at the crossroads of Topology, Group Theory, and Geometry.
