From quantum gravity to Fermat's Last Theorem
by
Adam S. Sikora
CRM/ISM (Montreal)

We will follow a path connecting the theory of spin networks with the work of Wiles and others on pseudo-representations (related to Fermat's Last Theorem). On our way, we will encounter moduli spaces of representations (character varieties), skein modules, Jones polynomial, and quantum invariants of 3-manifolds.
