Abstract: We give a highly effective coding of countable graphs into countable fields. For each countable graph G, we build a countable field F(G), uniformly effectively from an arbitrary presentation of G. There is a uniform effective method of recovering the graph G from the field F(G). Moreover, each isomorphism g from G onto any G' may be turned into an isomorphism F(g) from F(G) onto F(G'), again by a uniform effective method so that F(g) is computable from g.
Towards topological applications of Laver tables

Abstract: Laver tables are certain finite shelves (i.e., sets endowed with a binary operation which is distributive with respect to itself). They originate from set theory and have a profound combinatorial structure. In this talk I will discuss our dreams regarding potential braid and knot invariant constructions using Laver tables, and also present some real results in this direction, such as a detailed description of 2- and 3-cocycles for Laver tables. The rich structure of the latter promises interesting topological applications.
