WClips/UofT Announcement

Dear Students and Others,

With help from my students, in the next semester I will be running the "wClips Seminar", which is to be a combination of a class, a seminar, and an experiment. All are invited to join; we will be meeting on Wednesdays at noon at a location that will soon be announced and the first meeting will take place in the first week of classes, on Wednesday January 11, 2012.

The "class" part of this affair is that we will slowly and systematically go over my joint paper with Zsuzsanna Dancso, "Finite Type Invariants of W-Knotted Objects: From Alexander to Kashiwara and Vergne" (see http://www.math.toronto.edu/drorbn/papers/WKO/), section by section, lemma by lemma, and covering all necessary prerequisites as they come up (though a certain amount of mathematical maturity will certainly be assumed).
