LLN Short Course and Workshop on Homotopy Theory,  Categorification and Link Homology


Louvain-la-Neuve, 6-7 June 2013


The workshop aims in bringing together homotopy theorists and people working in categorification and Khovanov homology
into a common ground in view of the recent developments on the interplay between these two subjects.

It will be held at the Institut de Recherche en Mathematique et Physique - Université catholique de Louvain and
will consist  in a series of lectures aimed at graduate students/postdocs in homotopy theory or link homology/categorification.

Emmanuel Wagner  (Univ. Bourgogne, France) : Introduction to knot homologies

Paul Turner  (Univ. Geneva, Switzerland): Homotopy theory in Khovanov homology
