Searching the quantum symmetry in topology

Abstract:

The famous quantization principal in physics asserts that the quantum world posses more symmetry than the classical world. In the talk, we will apply the above quantization principal to topology. Using several key examples, we will illustrate that such a quantum symmetry phenomenon yields striking conjecture/theorem in all cases.
