AboutAbout the lab
Knot theory and quantum topology
The Suzuki Lab studies quantum invariants of knots and 3-manifolds.
Its specialties are knot theory and quantum topology, and it is also interested in applied mathematics using the Four Color Problem and persistent homology.
The lab's website keeps a diary recording day-to-day life, including seminars and research with students.
Key terms
- Knot theory
- A field of mathematics that studies whether shapes made by tying a string into a loop can be told apart when moved around without cutting.
- Quantum invariant
- A quantity determined for each shape of a knot or manifold. It serves as a clue for telling whether two shapes are the same.
- Persistent homology
- A method that tracks at what sizes the holes and connections within a set of points appear and disappear.
