- Titre: CANCELEDObstruction to quasi-alternating links.
- Résumé: CANCELEDQuasi-alternating links represent an
important class of links that has been introduced by Ozsváth and
Szabó while studying the Heegaard–Floer homology of the branched
double-covers of alternating links. This new class of links which
share many homological properties with alternating links, is defined
in a recursive way which is not easy to use in order to determine
whether a given link is quasi-alternating. In this talk, we shall
review some of the main obstruction criteria that have been
established to characterize quasi-alternating links and introduce
our recent work on polynomial invariants of quasi-alternating
links.

- Orateur: Michel
Boileau (Aix–Marseille Université).
- Titre: Complétions profinies des groupes
fondamentaux de variétés de dimension 3.
- Résumé: On va discuter la question de savoir
jusqu'à quel point les quotients finis du groupe fondamental
d'une variété compacte, irréductible,
orientable de dimension 3 détermine la
variété. En particulier quels propriétés
ou invariants d'une variété de dimension 3 peuvent
être détectés par les quotients finis de son
groupe fondamental.

- Orateur: Alexis Virelizier (Université de Lille).
- Titre: State sum invariants of combed 3-manifolds.
- Résumé: A fundamental example of a quantum
invariant of 3-manifolds is the Turaev–Viro invariant defined in the
90's. This approach (in its general form due to Barrett and Westbury)
uses a spherical fusion category as the main ingredient and consists
in a state sum on skeletons of 3-manifolds whose vertices are colored
by the 6j-symbols of the category. We extend the Turaev–Viro
construction to combed 3-manifolds (that is, to 3-manifolds endowed
with a nowhere-zero vector field) using pivotal fusion categories (not
necessarily spherical). Our construction consists in a state sum on
branched spines of combed 3-manifolds, which are a combinatorial
presentation of combed 3-manifolds developed by Ishii, Benedetti, and
Petronio.
