Title: Knot complements, series invariants and Lie superalgebra
Abstract: Inspired by the categorification program for a numerical invariant of three-manifolds at roots of unity, series invariants for closed manifolds and for knot complements were introduced. This in turn motivated an extension of the series invariant of the former case to Lie superalgebras. It was recently generalized to knot complements. In this talk, we review the original series invariants and introduce the recent generalization and explore its properties and examples.
