Project title: Selected topic in knot theory
Principal Investigator: Maciej Borodzik
Project description: The goal of the project is to understand better some parts of knot theory. We study knot theory for periodic links, trying to see how various symmetries of the knot are reflected in the symmetries of the knot invariant. We also study invariants of knots like Heegaard Floer theory. A part of the project is related to energies of higher-dimensional knots and their relation to knot complexity."
Research tasks:
The position comes with no teaching duties. The grantee is expected to conduct research in topics related to knot theory. This includes, but is not limited to, knot homologies,their connections with representations theory, twisted Blanchfield pairings, Morse-theoretical aspects of high-dimensional links, knot energies.
Requirements:
- Ph.D. in mathematics.
- The candidate was employed in a Ukrainian university before the war started.
- The candidate left (or is about to leave) Ukraine after Feb. 24th, 2022.
- Field of interest related to the research area of the project.
Monthly salaries are comparable with typical Polish academic standards; for more information please do consult the PI.
