First meeting for summer 2007! Peter Lee is telling us about associators with frozen feet. See also his handout from the CMS Winter 2006 Session on Knot Homologies - front: , back: and Dror's very partial paperlet, Associators with Frozen Feet.
- Definition of and its relation with finite type invariants.
- The frozen feet quotient.
- The action of , , and of , etc. (Dror: see also VS, TS and TG Algebras.)
- Generators and relations: , , the hexagons and pentagon, unitarity, non-degeneracy, group-like property.
- if and similar identities.
- , and in our case, this is just !
- .
- . With this, we have as follows:
- Unitarity becomes .
- where .
- Likewise for all other terms in the hexagon, which becomes
- Simplifying using frozen feet, this becomes
- Alternatively,
