Title: Introduction to Khovanov type graph homology for non-commutative algebras I:
Homology of small categories with functor coefficients
Speaker: Jing Wang (GWU)

Place: Seminar room 267
Abstract
This talk will be divided into two parts:
In the first part, I will describe Jones-Turaev's discovery about invariants of links from the Yang-Baxter equation. In particular, Jones Polynomial can be recovered using Y-B operators. Part two of my talk will be devoted to homology theory. I will discuss the "Yang-Baxter Homology" introduced by Przytycki and Lebed. Some familiar homologies such as distributive homology can be thought of as special case.
